Does anyone know where the auto recovery file are stored on the?
 

Looking for an Excel file that was not saved... is there any chance that it
is saved somewhere??????

The files that autorecovery creates are deleted when excel closes your workbook
successfully.

(If excel/windows crashes, excel is smart enough to find those files and offer
to open them.)

Did excel crash or did you just forget to save?

Yeah, sorry.

You may want to look into using Jan Karel Pieterse's addin called AutoSafe (note
spelling).

It doesn't overwrite the existing workbook when it saves. It saves to a user
selectable folder. And when it's done, it either deletes these backups (or puts
them in the recycle bin). And the user can always restore the backups from the
recycle bin.

(look for AutoSafe.zip, not autosafeVBE.zip, for your purposes.)
