They did a Save As and wrote over a "different" "important" file.

Where is the original?

It will not have been saved over.

Save As just creates a new file with a different name.

The original is not over-written.

Was having problems with Excel opening the same document on two computers.
Went to save as to see where it was going and inadvertently saves as over a
very large important file that had not been backed in in a while. If there
anyway to get this back after doing the save as. I have searched the tmep
folders and can not find anything there. Is thereanother hiding place that
Microsoft might have put a backup?
