Look for any *.XLK files. If you have set options to always create a backup, there could be a copy of the original saved as an *.XLK. Are you running Norton Utilities Protected Recycle Bin? Easy to get an earlier copy using Norton Unerase feature. Otherwise...........out of luck, but much wiser......right? Gord Dibben Excel MVP XL2002
