I had a user this morning who accidentally overwrote one of our excel files
with another one. Is there any utility out there that can help me recover
this?

Thanks

Nope.........if you don't have a backup, or an emailed copy, then your only
chance is to maybe get an archive backup from your MIS dept.

Sorry but unless you had a backup, or emailed a copy to someone, you
are probably out of luck.

Hi Scott

If you are using VISTA, then under File>Properties there is an option for
Previous Version
This will be the version of the file the last time the registry was backed
up.
