Is it possible to recover an old version of an Excel file after saving it without changing the file name? Autorecover is on.

Thanks for any help!

No. That's what backups are for. Now you know why you need backups.

Ok, thanks. I am fully aware of the importance of backups; however,
I was wondering if anyone understood the application well enough to
workaround extreme circumstances.

It has nothing at all to do with the application. If you overwrite a file,
it's entirely an operating system issue. Nothing Excel can do to fix it.
