Restore Previous Version
 

I am running XP and using Excel 2003. I have always been able to open
previous versions of a spreadsheet by clicking the bottom "open" button and
choosing previous version. This was very useful as our computers are
networked and I've had to restore serveral spreadsheets to their previous
version due to others inadvertantly changing and saving files.

Starting last month, I was no longer able to restore a spreadsheet to a
previous version (date). I cannot even seem to find this option any longer.

Can someone help me figure out why I can no longer do this?

Thanks for all your help.

I am not sure that you are going about this correctly. On my
computer, runnign the exact same version of Excel and same operating
system can do this. You need to right click on an item that you want
to restore and select Properties. then from here you can find the tab
labeled previous versions.

Restore Previous Version
 

Yes, you are correct. I have been able to restore in that way as well.
However, when following the right click, properties route, I do not get a tab
labeled previous versions. I know I used to, but it is missing now. Any
ideas? I really need the regain this function.
