How can I see a copy of a saved workbook before I saved it again?
I deleted several tabs (from a previously saved) spreadsheet, and
inadvertently clicked save, rather than "save as", and overwrote the original file. How can get a copy of the original spreadsheet back. I was told that perhaps it is in the Temp folder. I do have a few .tmp files that were updated today in the Temp folder, but am not able to open them. I have tried copying and pasting into folder on my desktop, as well as opening with Excel, but have had no success. Is there a way I can get this original file back? Is there a backup somewhere? |

... Is there a way I can get this original file back? Is there a backup somewhere? The standard answer is "it's gone", I'm afraid. Regrets, Andy |

Unless you have a backup copy (check with you system administrator) then
it's gone :-( For the future, this might help: http://www.bygsoftware.com/saveandbackup.htm One click on "Save and BackUp" and your work is saved and sequentially backed up. This is ideal for anyone developing in Excel, especially where a development history is required. -- Regards - Andy Wiggins FCCA www.BygSoftware.com Excel, Access and VBA Consultancy "Norma" wrote in message ...
