I have Windows XP Pro, and Outlook 2002. I got an excel
attachment and open it, and made changes to it and
selected save. Unfortunately I did not do a save as to my
documents. I just selected save, and I guess it went to a
temp folder. Now I cannot find the file. Can you tell me
what happened to the file and how to retieve it.

Open a command line window and enter:

cd %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files
dir

You'll see a folder that starts with OLK and ends with some combination of
letters and digits, like "41A". Now, click Start>Run, and enter
%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLKXXX (where "XXX" is
that combination of letters and digits you saw above) in the Open box and
click OK. You'll be presented a Windows Explorer window viewing the Outlook
temporary file cache. Your spreadsheet should be there and you can copy
where you wish.
