How do I find an Excel spreadsheet opened as attachment in Outlook
Using Outlook 2000...I received an e-mail with an Excel spreadsheet as an
attachment. I opened it and spent a great deal of time adding information before I closed it. I thought I had saved it. When I went back into Excel and tried to call up the file via the list of most recent files accessed, it said the file could not be found. I have spent a great deal of time searching for the file with no success. I did read that Outlook attachments are saved in the Temporary Internet Files when opened but I have not been able to get to it by looking in that area. How do I locate the file and will the information I added be incorporated in it? If I can't access the information there, is there another way to recover the data I entered in Excel? Any assistance would be appreciated greatly. |

How do I find an Excel spreadsheet opened as attachment in Outlook
You may get lucky--or it may have been cleaned up...
Open Windows Explorer rightclick on the C: drive choose properties Then on the General tab, click the Disk Cleanup tab Then select the Temporary Internet files from the Disk Cleanup tab Then click the View files You'll see a bunch of funny named folders there. Search through each one looking for your file. Maybe sort by date modified (when in detail mode)??? Irv K. wrote: Using Outlook 2000...I received an e-mail with an Excel spreadsheet as an attachment.
