Help: Closed an Excel Doc Without Saving!

Hi Guys,

I just hit NO when asked to save an Excel document as I closed Excel.

Anyway to recover my changes?

When you restart a Microsoft Office program after a power failure or similar problem, the program automatically opens any recovered files. If for some reason the recovery file didn't open, you can open it yourself.
On the Standard toolbar, click Open .
In the folder list, locate and double-click the folder where recovered files are stored.
For Microsoft Windows 2000 operating systems, the location is usually C:\documents and settings\<username>\Application Data\Microsoft\<program name>.
For Windows 98 operating systems, the location is usually C:\Windows\Application Data\Microsoft\<program name>.
In the Files of type box, click All Files.
Each recovered file is named "AutoRecover Save of file name" and has the program file name extension.

Click the name of the file you want to recover, and then click Open.
On the Standard toolbar, click Save .
In the File name box, enter the name of the existing file.
When you see a message asking whether or not you want to replace the existing file, click Yes.
 
You can set Word to automatically save a backup copy each time you save a document. The backup copy provides you with a previously saved copy, so you have the current saved information in the original document and the information saved prior to that in the backup copy. Each time you save the document, a new backup copy replaces the existing backup copy. Saving a backup copy can protect your work if you accidentally save changes you don't want to keep or you delete the original file.

It's there... just deleted. (I believe)... Isn't there some undelete software to recover the automatically deleted recovery file from the hard drive?

MAPILab File Recovery can recover documents lost due to computer crashes, accidental deletion - even if the Recycle Bin has been emptied, formatting of a disk drive, and even when a document has never been saved!

Does this include IPOD?
