Some additional information Roy.

"System Restore" is simply that....it restores the "system" configuration but
does not restore any data files.

It is not a backup feature.

Roy,

Unfortunately, any sheet operation (Insert, Rename, Delete, etc.) is not
undoable. The delete is totally destructive (you can always manually rename
again, etc.) That's why the message appears when you use Delete. By
"permanently delete," it means you can't undo it, though that's not made
clear at all in the message. Some day in the far future, sitting around
with your grandchildren, you can tell them proudly that Microsoft has fixed
this. It isn't likely to happen before then, I fear.

For future reference, important files can be saved with "version numbers" in
the file name, or something similar. I use My File-1.xls, My File-2.xls,
etc. Don't be afraid to let that number climb. Increment it with any
change in the file you want to. I do this regularly with project files.
You never know. You can always save the latest, working file, to an
unnumbered name, "My File.xls."

I mistakenly deleted 2 important worksheets in microsoft excel and would
like
to know if I can get them back. I tried system restore on my computer but
that didn't do anything for me.
