How do I recover excel file opened through email and not saved
Can't be that important if you didn't stop occasionally to save a copy.
Your work is gone. Re-open from the email and start again.

It was because it was so important that I didn't stop working on it, and
anyway I thought my excel was set up to save every 10 minutes ! -- Liane "Gord Dibben" wrote: Can't be that important if you didn't stop occasionally to save a copy. Your work is gone.

If you're lucky, you may find it under your Temporary Internet Files folder
(depending on what you use for your email client). Liane wrote: Spent 5 hours working on a spreadsheet I'd opened as an attachment to an email, didn't save it!!!!! Is there anyway of recovering this document?? Really urgent and really important. Thanks -- Dave Peterson |

Excel can keep track of the most recently used files.
If you open excel and click on File, do you see the filename at the bottom of the dialog? How about using windows Most recently used list? Windows Start button|Documents Is it there? How about using windows|search for *.xls that were updated in the last day (or so)?

Which version of Excel are you using. There has been no Autosave in Excel since version 2000 Newer versions have only the Autorecovery feature which, if the file is closed normally as yours was, deletes the temporary Autorecovery file.
