Hello,

I have mistakenly saved / overwritten a file. I mean while savinga file I
chose another file's name and when the computer asked that the file already
exist - do you want to overwrite it? I pressed YES.

Is there any way to regain the access to the old file??

Please advise.

Thanks,
Dinesh

Was that file on a server with scheduled backups being made?

Nope overwritten is overwritten. That is why it asked you to be sure. If the
file was stored on a network drive you could ask your IT department to
restore the file from a backup tape which they should be able to do. You
might have to buy them some donuts though.

Thanks Jim.

I thought the same and gave a call to my IT too.

Thank you once again.
