No, in general you can't go back.
It is always wise, when saving, to use the option (under Save As/ General Options) to always create a backup. I guess you will do so in future? You may be able to get the previous version back if you have a backup or archive routine, or on a network drive running Windows XP under properties there should be a "Previous versions" tab. -- David Biddulph "Rami Mohaisen" <Rami wrote in message ... Say i have an excel file, and i edit it and save it. Now in the properties of this file it now shows the last date modified. Is there any way to revert to that file. Can i undo the most recent save?????? Any way possible. Can i view what has been modified. PLEASE REPLY ASAP |

If you copy the file, the properties like author etc. will be the same as
the original but there will be no property giving you the original filename If you save as under a new name, the original will not be overwritten and will still be on your computer in the same place it was before.

In the original file, open properties, and then in the comments section
enter the information as to path and file name. Now you may read that info in any copy you make of the file or if you move the file you may read it to see the path it was originally in. Of course you could put the same information in a footer, header or a cell in the spreadsheet too. It is just more likely to not get changed in the properties.
