Recover Excel file that was saved over
I accidentally saved over a worksheet with another file. Can I recover the
original. I have searched and the most recent backup is from Feb. I do not have a system that automatically backs up my files. I have tried auto recovery, restoring the system to a previous date, searching my complete computer. Any suggestions? |

Any chance you emailed a copy to someone else. Maybe you can check your sentbox
or ask for a copy back? How about any thumbdrive? Did you transport the file anywhere else? Myra wrote: I accidentally saved over a worksheet with another file. Can I recover the original.

Recover Excel file that was saved over
Dave,
I already check both of those options and sad to say I did not. The one I saved on my jump drive is from Feb. It got saved to a short cut on my desktop and converted it to a .lnk file so I was hoping that the .xls file would still be saved somewhere but my searches do not find anything. Any other ideas??

Myra
For the future............... Sysytem Restore does not save data files, only system files. Autorecovery just saves a temporary file that is deleted when the original is closed/saved with no incident. You may want to read this............... There is no Autosave with Excel 2002 or newer. Autorecovery from ToolsOptionsSave is it. This is not the same as Autosave which made true incremental saves at intervals and alerted you before saving. Autorecovery just saves a temporary file which it deletes if Excel closes normally without incident. BTW.....Dave Peterson reports that he tried an earlier version of Autosave.xla in XL2002 and it seemed to work fine. I have also tried the Autosave.XLA from XL97 on 2002 and 2003 and does the job. To download the 97 version go here..... http://www.stat.jmu.edu/trep/Marchat/sp2001/Library.htm In addition to the above......Jan Karel Pieterse has an addin called AutoSafe which also doen't alert before saving. It doesn't overwrite the existing workbook when it saves. It saves to a user selectable folder. And when it's done, it either deletes these backups (or puts them in the recycle bin). And the user can always restore the backups from the recycle bin. http://www.jkp-ads.com/Download.htm (look for AutoSafe.zip) Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Sat, 19 Jan 2008 11:15:01 -0800, Myra wrote: I accidentally saved over a worksheet with another file.

Recover Excel file that was saved over
Hi again,
I thought that if it had a different extension that the original may still be somewhere. The new one saved as .lnk and the original was .xls. It that possible?

..lnk files are usually shortcuts to the real files.
