Use the backup copy. That is why you select "always create a backup copy"
under the options when you do a "Save As".
[If you didn't do so in the past, then hopefully you will do in the future.]

Hi,
Is there any way that I can retrieve a deleted spreadsheet. I think by
accident I did a "saved as" and my mistatke erased the spreadsheet that
listed all of my income for 2008! HELP!
