Hi

The file is overwritten. You have to find one of your backup CDs.

HTH. best wishes Harald

hi,
If you are on a network, see if there is a backup that you
can restore from.
otherwise i am afraid there isn't anything you can do.
sorry.

If you had the file set up for "Always create a backup", look for an *.XLK
file.

It would be one save behind your current saved revision.

I just did the same thing - disaster!
Are there data recovery programs which could recover
anything of the previous file before the save?
Any help much appreciated!!!!

Sorry, but if you've saved a file in error under the original Filename its
gone for good as far as I know unless its a Windows NT setup which will
probably have a back up. Try the Windows newsgroups, there are experts on
these sort of things there, in the meantime don't save anything more in case
there is a chance, Good Luck.
Regards,
