Default Lost Changes Made to Attachment

(cross-post added to Excel)

...
I know better, but i forgot to do a "Save As" before making changes to an
open attachment. It was 4 hours of work on an Excel spreadsheet that I need
to find. I've looked in temp files everywhere.


Can anyone tell me where it saves these files? Or if it does?



In fact, it depends on whether you closed the message window
before closing the Excel document window. In that case OE
would not be able to delete the file in the TIF it creates for Excel to use.

BTW you should be asking this in an Excel newsgroup.
Perhaps there is an Undo feature in that product?
Then, provided you haven't done anything else with Excel
there might be a copy of your work available that way.

Cross-posting to an Excel NG for convenience.


Good luck
