How do I recover a prior version of a saved document?

[trpnfly]

I had two documents open and somehow, one document was saved to both file
names. Now I have two documents with the same data and I am missing all the
data from one of the documents. It's like I hit "file" "save as" and saved
one document under another documents name. I did not do that but what has
happened is the same result. I do not have either file backed up to disk. I
only had them on the hard drive. I am using Office XP and my documents are in
Excel.

I would appreciate any help you can offer.

Thank you.

I doubt even file restore software or hiring a data recovery servic
could assist you at this point. If you deleted the file, maybe, bu
once you, or the computer, saved the file and over-wrote the old dat
you're almost certainly out of luck without a backup copy.

Sounds to me you created a New Window of the Workbook?
