How do I find a deleted excel file? Or an autosave file?
My boss deleted an excel file while in FileOpen. She accidentally right
clicked and then clicked delete. We've tried looking for it in the Recycle Bin, but is not there. Would Excel put it somewhere else? What about the location of an autosave file? She could at least use that so all work is not lost. HELP! |

How do I find a deleted excel file? Or an autosave file?
If you are with a company that has a Network, and an MIS department, the
chances are that they back up all data occasionally.........just request them to retrieve an older copy of the file for you.

How do I find a deleted excel file? Or an autosave file?
When I try to delete a file in the Open dialog box XL asks me if I am sure
that I want to sent it to the Recycle bin. What version of Xl ae you using? -- Regards, Sandy In Perth, the ancient capital of Scotland and the crowning place of kings Replace @mailinator.com with @tiscali.co.uk "Aladriel" wrote in message ...

Thanks Sandy......yes, I'm finally back up to sub-par, thanks to much coffee
and many many meds.....<g.........or maybe it's just the temperature that got me here this morning........43 degrees here in St. Petersburg Florida..........I moved down here from Virginia to get away from that sort of thing..........got my PH (Personal Heater) sitting here on the desktop to keep my fingers from turning blue. I thought it was a stupid Xmas present but boy am I glad I got it!

Maybe OP has the Recycle Bin Properties set to "do not move to recycle bin. remove files immediately when deleted". Or "display delete confirmation dialog" is unchecked. Not normal settings, but possible.

What version of Excel.
Any version newer than Excel 200 does not have an "Autosave" function. Only has an "Autorecovery" function which is not a real "autosaved" version of the file and is deleted when Excel is closed or the file is closed. Having said that, you may get lucky and the "autorecovery" file may still be hanging around. Drill down to C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel and look for any files with names like ~ar35E2.xls or similar. Double-click to open and see what you get. As far as not being in the Recycle Bin, see my post to Sandy. Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Thu, 3 Jan 2008 09:00:04 -0800, Aladriel wrote: My boss deleted an excel file while in FileOpen.

Oh yeah, THAT THING..........I thought about it, especially every morning
when the alarm goes off.....but on my way home from work I stop at the Computer Store and then I remember why I keep doing it..........it keeps me in toys.

Thanks for the info Gord. I assume that these settings are in versions
later than XL97? -- Reagrds, Sandy In Perth, the ancient capital of Scotland and the crowning place of kings Replace @mailinator.com with @tiscali.co.uk "Gord Dibben" <gorddibbATshawDOTca wrote in message ...

These are Windows settings, not Excel settings. Right-click on your Recycle Bin on your Desktop and see Propperties. Gord On Thu, 3 Jan 2008 18:33:08 -0000, "Sandy Mann" wrote: Thanks for the info Gord. I assume that these settings are in versions later than XL97? |
