Access database overwritten

[Jawed92]

Hi,

I have an Access database loaded with valuable data. By mistake I copied
another database with same name and clicked on "yes" when prompt to over
write. Now I lose my valuable data stored in actual database.

Can any one explain me if there is any way to recover original database with
actual data?

Thanks,

Maybe. Take a look at the properties of the file and/or directory. Take
a look at the previous versions tab.

Otherwise, no, not really.

Hopefully you have a good, recent backup of the database. If not, you may
have just learnt a valuable lesson the hard way.
