Can anyone help please?

It is only possible to retrieve a file if it hasn't been overwritten
(although partly overwritten files may be retrieved). The chance of success
reduces if you have used the computer at all - especially an attempt to
retrieve the file.

One way to retrieve a file is something like GetDataBack
www.http://www.runtime.org/ it costs $79. It should be installed on a
different hard disk.

Another way to retrieve a file is to hand your computer to a specialist at
retrieving files. This gets rather more expensive.

Although it may be too late for this particular file, you should seriously
consider a backing up regime. Yes it costs but that can be justified in the
loss of information and the consequences both financial and stress. Have a
look at my web site www.1001solutions.co.uk for more information.

Are you using the recycle bin? Perhaps it's in there. Otherwise there's
a freeware program called "Restoration" that may help. Do a Google search.
