Lost Excel Document, Please help!
 

Hi
I have been working on an excel document that was emailed to my G-mail
account. I would usually "save as" before working on it but I forgot. I did a
days work on it and saved it. It appeared to save (I had no pop ups when I
closed it) but I don't know where. I checked the email, it has hasn't saved
there. I have searched the entire hard drive it doesn't seem to be on there,
looked in temporary files etc. No luck. I was wondering if it would be saved
online somehow? It seems odd that it would accept that it had been saved and
disappear?

Thanks for your help

Cheers Jess

It's not online, no, but sometimes attachments are saved with ambiguous
names in mysterious locations. Try opening a file again via Gmail, Save
As, and note the folder the dialog suggests. You may well find your work
there.

You could also do an advance file search from Windows to look for documents
edited on a specific date with the extension of XL*.

You can also open your browser and go to TOOLS/OPTIONS and on the GENERAL
tab click the SETTINGS command button in the BROWSING HISTORY panel. If a
dialog box is displayed that informs you of the amount of disk space
currently allocated, click the OK command button, otherwise, in the TEMPORARY
INTERNET FILES AND HISTORY SETTINGS dialog box, see what the path is to your
temporary folder. It should be something like:

C:\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\

See if the Excel file is in your temp folder.

Hope this helps...
