Is there a way of getting back the numbers entered for October? confused



Was there a backup file? If there was, the previous file's still there (but that has to be enabled).

If not you're ef iu ci key i di.

 



NO no back up...

... and Quixote's idea didn't work. 

S.O.L.


Thanks for the ideas everyone.

I don't know if this will help but its worth a try


To find out if and where Autorecover is enabled, within Excel click on

Tools
Options
Save

make note of the Autorecover location and look for this file on your computer.


If you are using Windows Xp, Temporary Office files may be located under
C:\Documents and settings\\Local Settings\Temp

This is totally for you, baboso. no.gif no digo pues.

Anyway, isn't there another place where you could have saved a copy of the October file? Maybe in a shared drive everyone else can have access to view it? Or maybe you email out these monthly reports? someone could still have it.

You see how i try to help an ingrato? I'm a nice person afterall.

I you want to get really techy, you can find many files on the virtual memory, you need a third party software that can read this files...and you can retrive your lost file....

the "UNDO" option (under the "Edit" option) seems to disapear as soon as you save something.  Tried that already.
