452004 2006-05-04 11:34:00 Search your temp files, especuially the Excel equivalent of Word's *.wbk files, there may be a copy hiding somewhere. I once pulled back a seminar presentation that had been accidentally deleted in some way (unbeknown to me) and several weeks later I found an almost complete copy that only needed proof reading, along with about five other copies of varying completeness.

I admit that this was amazing luck, but you won't know what your luck is like unless you try. I use Ztree for my file searches though, because it is very fast and incredible how it can find files that windows doesn't see.
