Accidentally saved over important data
I was working in a spreadsheet I've been updating for months. I deleted a
bunch of data, then accidentally saved the spreadsheet (without changing the name). It's the same ol' spreadsheet without a bunch of data. I need to get the data back. Can I somehow retrieve a copy of the spreadsheet with the data still on it from the hard drive? Thanks for your response. M. I. Screwed |

Accidentally saved over important data
U. R. Screwed (unless you want to pay some computer forensics person a few
grand on the off-chance that they could recover it). Tip: If you don't ever want to overwrite this file, mark it as read-only in the Windows property. Or go to the Excel VBA newsgroup and ask if someone can help you ENSURE that you don't overwrite it. ************ Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "M. I. Screwed" <M. I. wrote in message ...

Maybe CIA could do it but most likely it's gone forever

Accidentally saved over important data
Yup. Its gone, and its not the same old spreadsheet, its a newly saved one
without a bunch of data!! Need to learn that whenever you are doing something in a spreadsheet that you may not want to keep that way that you do it on a copy. "M. I. Screwed" <M.

Bya any chance did you store this on a network drive? If so, and
depending on the tape backup schedule performed by the IT guys, you may be able to get a copy that is just 1 or 2 days old. |

Did you share/email it to anyone?
Maybe it's in your sentbox or the recipient could send you back a copy??? Any chance you have an older version in your recycle bin??? M. I.
