Default I accidentally replaced xcel file with another-not in recycle bin

I just rcvd an attachment that had a similar name to one of my files and
accidentally "Saved As" and replaced it. Now I can't seem to recover the file
and it is NOT in my recycle bin. Help, please! It's months of work.

Unless you have a backup file somewhere, the original file is
gone forever.
