Main3s Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 So I've been working on a file for advertisement for about the past 2 hours. Pulling numbers from reports compiling important info so that we can put together a media packet for potential advertisers... I was closing a few windows because I was just about done... and... well I closed the file I had been working on. I thought it was something else and didn't save it. Is there any way to get it back? FML!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 well, since you didn't say what program.... I am unsure if we can help you. If it was microsoft, it saves it automatically in "saved documents" or something like that. Open the program and file-open recent. The next time it asks "are you sure you want to quit without saving" say no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMeanGreen Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Yes, it'll make a saved backup and you can define in the options settings how often it'll save said copy automatically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well how to I recover it now? I closed the file and didn't save it, can I find it somewhere? Or is this just a lesson learned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro1647545510 Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 It's an excell file... So I should checked saved documents Open up a excel document, go to tools, options, and then save. Then go to where it says the 'auto-recover save location' is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtschulze Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 I'm going the fuck home now.... What a waist. :doh: Thankfully it was Excel and had lots of numbers.....words aren't your forte. Waist = "I'm a fat ass with a 38 inch waist" Waste = What you did with all the time you spent on the spreadsheet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paktinat Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 excel usually dumps the auto save when you specifically tell it you dont want to save that file. The problem with computers is they do what we tell them to do, not what we want them to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with computers is they do what we tell them to do, not what we want them to do. Yeah, that's the best way to put it. I came in this morning at 7:00am and re did the spreadsheet. It's been sent out. I went in and set the "auto save" or what ever, to save the doc. every 3 minutes, lesson learned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhett Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Well at least ya got it done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 Or you could have recovered the file the same way several different people here told you to do...but re-doing it was also an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
