Help!! I lost the work I created?

Question

I create the work schedule for 42 employees weekly. I emailed the blank schedule format from work to my home email. I worked on it for 3 hours, pushed save, and when I went back, it was all gone.
I cannot locate it. It was created originally on an excel worksheet.
Can anyone help me locate it? I truly don't want to start over. Its due today.

I did not save the work to a different area, I added the work hours to the format in the original email.

Answer 1

I would go to the search for files option on the start menu. Just type in the name of the file and it may be able to find it for you.

Answer 2

This happened in our office recently. If you opened and edited the .xls file directly from email attachment without saving to your hard disc first, then when you clicked Save it has likely been saved to a temp file somewhere under C: Local Disk/Documents and Settings. Try searching your HDD.

Answer 3

Please forgive me if you have already done the following!!!!!
I assume you have used your search facility in Start ?
If not go to Start, Search, Files and Folders and enter the name of the file that was in your email. Set it to search your "c" drive. When you saved it it may well have gone to a temporary filed storage area and "search" should locate it.

Hope this helps.
