Okay, here's my problem... i have a paper due tomorrow. i've worked 3 days on it and i nearly finished. Then i decide to save it. THen i thought i "saved as" on the wrong file. Instead of saving it "proposal" i saved it as "invitation" . So then i saved it again with the file name "proposal". But it didn't save. Thinking that i saved it at "proposal", i opened the "invitation" and deleted everything. i saved it so now it's a blank document. Then i opened proposal and ofund out that i didn't save it. So now all my 3 days work is gone.
does anyone know how to undo something after saving and closing the file??? i really need help.
thanks

What program were you creating and saving with?
Where were you saving the file?
What operating system are you using? (if XP, I can help you)

I feel that the data it is lost permanently, this is because
you did not save properly and more over you opened the original file and deleteded all the content.
But , i want to know the type of file that you created ,i.e what it
the file type eg .doc .xls.
This is because in Mircosoft word i think
there a way to get previous version (this is applicable only if you had enabled this option when you created your document), i am not sure, but try it out .
I suggest you to some backup software to backup important files.

If you have not cleard your recycle bin it will still be there failing that open search and put the file names in good luck.

go down to the local convience store and get you some coffee and some nodoze. You are going to need it. You are totally screwed.
