Since XL2000 there has been no "Autosave" function or feature for Excel.

Please read Excel help on "Autorecovery".

Autorecovery simple creates a temporary backup copy of the workbook while
you are working on it.

If Excel does not crash and your workbook is closed/saved without incident,
the temporary backup is deleted.

DO NOT be lulled into thinking you are saving a backup copy at timed
intervals.

Darryl,

If you have the autosave feature turned on, then you can usually restore
your original file from the autosaved file. But you have to do this before
it is replaced the next time Excel autosaves your file again. This depends
on your settings. I'm not sure if this will help you this time, but keep it
in mind. If you are using Excel 2007, go to Excel Options Save
AutoRecover File Location: to see where the file is being saved.

I was working on an Excel document, deleting all of the info in the cells,
when I inadvertently hit "save" instead of "save as". Thus wiping out all my
info I wanted to keep. Is there a way to recover the document with my
original saved info?
