I accidently deleted the last 2 hours of excel 2003 data. I have not saved
the revised sheet and the undelete shows not available. Is there a place
where I can go to retreive a backup copy. I am still in the program.

Hi,
Do you have set up the autosave option, if yes you should close your file
without saving it or saving it with a defferent name and open the original
file again, otherwise I am sorry but you will not be able to recover it

There is no autosave in Excel 2003...............only autorecovery.

If OP has autorecovery enabled try browsing to the autorecovery folder.

Look for a file named like ~ar6283.xar

Rename to qqqqq.xls and try to open it.

You may get lucky.
