Does excel keep temporary versions of previouse workbooks once i s

P

I inadvertantly saved a workbook and lost changes I intended to keep. As
long as I haven't closed the application, is there a temporary file that
keeps those previous versions of the workbook?

If you have Autorecovery enabled and you have not closed out Excel, go to

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel

Look for any ~arxxxxx.XAR files with a recent date/time.

Double-click to open.

One of them could be a copy of the file before saving.
