recover changes
I opened an attachment from an email file, made some significant changes and
saved them (inadvertantly) to a temporary file. I then opened the attachment straight from the email again later and accidentally saved it again, which I think overrode the changes I had saved earlier. Is there any way to recover the changes that were previously saved? Thank you very much for any help. |

recover changes
You have saved a document to a volatile temporary file then saved over that
temporary filename with a new document and you still want the original? Dream on! Forensic data recovery might be able to recover the file, but the financial cost will be prohibitive. You should *always* save e-mail attachments to the hard drive *before* working on them. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org DC3 wrote: I opened an attachment from an email file, made some significant changes and saved them (inadvertantly) to a temporary file.

recover changes
Hi ?B?REMz?=,
I opened an attachment from an email file, made some significant changes and saved them (inadvertantly) to a temporary file. I then opened the attachment straight from the email again later and accidentally saved it again, which I think overrode the changes I had saved earlier. Is there any way to recover the changes that were previously saved? Hard to say. Your best bet is to ask in a forum that supports the email interface you're using, as they'll best know to what location attachment temp files are saved, etc. Cindy Meister INTER-Solutions, Switzerland http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister (last update Jun 8 2004) http://www.word.mvps.org This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) |
