If you used save instead of save as can you recover the original file you
saved over?

not likely.... possibly look for a temp file (odds slim to none that this
will bring success).

99.99%... you're out of luck.


do you have a recent backup?

Kate,

Thanks a bunch for awesome words of encouragement....LOL :)
I did go to our tech support who keeps the daily back ups and I was able to
recover the file. Thanks for your time answering my question. It's greatly
appreciated.

Forensic data recovery companies do this for a price. It's not cheap,
but you know what your time is worth to rebuild the original.
