Am I confused?

I thought that the AutoRecover option was to do an automatic save to avoid
losing information that *hasn't* been saved manually (to cope with
situations like power failures). I thought from
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/289273 that the AutoRecover data was cleared
when a manual save is done.

My understanding is that what was needed to cover the OP's situation is
*not* the AutoRecover option but the option for "Always create backup". Did
I misunderstand?

Hi,

Caution: The moment you notice that the previous version of the file is
important, do no save the current file again.

Important:

You can get back to your previous saved verison only if you have done the
following;

1. On the Tools menu, click Options,
2. Click the Save tab.
3. Verify that you have selected the "Save AutoRecover info every" list
box,
and then if you typed a number value or you have the arrow to the right of
the "Save AutoRecover info every" list. You can increase or decrease the
value by clicking the up or down arrow key.
4. Save the path for the autorecovery in the AutoRecover save location
text
path.
5. Under the Workbook option, verify that the Disable AutoRecover checkbox
is cleared.
6. Click OK to save the settings and return to the worksheet.

Otherwise, you will loose the previous backup file.

Note: This is just an assumption. If you have emailed any of the previous
backup file to anyone, then you can request them to send back that copy
to
you. This help you modify the cahnges you require in your workbook.

Is that possible?
