recovering an unsaved file

Forgot to mention that I am running Excel 2000 on Windows 98 SE.

Can anyone help please?

It is only possible to retrieve a file if it hasn't been overwritten
(although partly overwritten files may be retrieved). The chance of success
reduces if you have used the computer at all - especially an attempt to
retrieve the file.

One way to retrieve a file is something like GetDataBack
www.http://www.runtime.org/ it costs $79. It should be installed on a
different hard disk.

Another way to retrieve a file is to hand your computer to a specialist at
retrieving files. This gets rather more expensive.

Although it may be too late for this particular file, you should seriously
consider a backing up regime. Yes it costs but that can be justified in the
loss of information and the consequences both financial and stress. Have a
look at my web site www.1001solutions.co.uk for more information.

Also, www.semantec.com has Norton Goback. But like Bill said, the more files
you've saved, the more likely the file is already overwritten.

Are you using the recycle bin? Perhaps it's in there. Otherwise there's
a freeware program called "Restoration" that may help. Do a Google search.
