I hope someone can help here as I have tried everything I can think
of!

I sent an XLS file to my collegue who opened the attachment rather
than saving it first. She spent several hours adding data to the file
and kept clicking the save icon to make sure she didn't loose
anything.

The following day she came to open the file again and there was no
sign of it anywhere. After spending most of the day on Google it would
appear that Outlook destroys this file without any warnings even
though it has been saved repeatedly in Excel.

Can anyone confirm this behaviour or better still, can anyone suggest
a method of recovering this file - maybe Excel is more intelligent
than Outlook?

Many thanks in advance for ANY help you can give me,
Sean
 
No need to ask more than once. I responded to your first post.

I sent this one from my laptop and the other when I got home as I
thought I may have posted to the wrong group.
