My boss is using Office 2007 with Windows Vista on his laptop. He was
working on an Excel document and would periodically click on "Save." So he
opens the document this morning and everything is fine. He goes to open the
document this afternoon, and the changes he made are all gone.

I thought that he could have maybe saved it somewhere else without realizing
it, or accidently saved it as something else, but it's not appearing in the
recent documents. We tried the search and the only thing that comes up is
the document before the changes were made to it. It was like as if he didn't
do anything to it at all. We also tried looking in Recent in the program
itself as well as the Recent Documents in the Start Menu.

I've tried searching on Google for other simular occurance but the only
results I am getting is people getting error messages. The thing is, there
was no error message.

This is wierd. What could possibly be happening here?

I figure the file may have went corrupt so I suggested to my boss that he
runs ScanDisk and checks to see if it leaves a FILE#####.CHK on his C:\ and
hope that maybe the file can be restored from there by simply renaming it.

If anyone has any other idea what happened or how to fix it, I would
appreciate any advice.

TIA
