If you still have the document open, use Undo. Changing the date will do
nothing for you.

I attached a file (from desktop) to an outlook express message. Just before
sending I opened the file (from the message) and deleted most ofit, saved
and
sent.
Unfortunately I thus deleted the majority of the original file as well.
No backup system. Someone told me I could change the date on the computer
a
week back and this may help. Is it not possible that this will allow
access
to the same file (name unchanged) with an older time stamp?
HELP !!!!
thx.
