Hmmm...I dunno. I guess the first thing to try is to look for the last back-up copy of the file.

That's all I got, sorry.

I'm a little out of my depth here, but I found:

Excel backups have the original name and the suffix .xlk (with a displayed filetype of “Microsoft Excel Backup File”), and will appear in the same folder as the original.

Liese, you are likely screwed.

There. get that past then anything you might be able to salvage will be a step up.

I don't suppose there's an "undo save file"

Also, search your hard drive using Search for any documents, including hidden, created within the last day?

Check the software help for recovering/finding/using a backup file.

Otherwise? Give up immediately, and start from the backup file to re-do all the work you did, and be that much further ahead than spending time on fruitless efforts.

Basically unless your software is set to automatically backup, saving a file with the same name is a good way to obliterate an earlier file.

Liese, you are likely screwed.

Oh. I know. Own damn fault.

But thanks for the support.

And between your posts, it occurred to me to try...

Oh! Hallelujah! I am saved, saved!

The aforementioned mistake was made, mistakenly, in a folder other than the one where the aforementioned very important document was kept. Thereby overwriting not the actual very important document, but what turned out, in the end, to be the very important document's backup.

I have now backed up the original very important document, correctly saved the new document, deleted the offending overwritten document, and I am repenting of my backupless sins, and will do better in the future.

Hey, did you all techma me? 'Cause, yay Buffistas.

Huzzah Liese!

It might have been the extra sympathy~ma, because I've been in similar panics and found out that my mistake was in thinking I had made a mistake, when I was mistaken as to the magnitude of said mistake.

Don't ya love it when a plan comes together?

I think Google's Keyhole technology has already been discussed, but has anyone tried it? (There's a free 7-day trial.)

Also, it's a subscription service, but I can't find pricing for the subscription.

It's not something that I need, but it's just So. Fucking. Cool.

How to steal WiFi.

I have a TV (that's about 8 years old) that is spontaneously turning off. Does anyone know what the problem might be with the tv? It's a Philips. Do I need to change the remote batteries?

Do I need to change the remote batteries?

That'd be my first try.
