When you save an excel file into htm format you are going to loose you formula's. You can try to rename the file back to test.xls and see if that converts it. chances are when you open it your going to throw an error on the formulas for the cells. just ignore it and see if you get back your data.

.dat should be text-based file, therefore you should be able to open it with Notepad. Now, if it contains contains fields of information (fixed width, or data separated by comma, tab, or other character) you should be able to use Excel.  But first, i would trying with Notepad to have an idea of what's in there. If you don't know what software created it then your best bet is to open it in a HEX EDITOR.\n\nOr else you can also try the tool named "Dat View" from this http://www.angelfire.com/ego2/idleloop/archives/dat_view.htm\n\nGood Luck\nKhoj

In MS Word, load that file, than "Save As..." and select MS DOS Text. \n\nEasy enough, right?

I know a few programs like Outlook may save things for you as a draft, but I don't much hear of regular programs actually doing that. (That's why in school we were told to "save save save!") \n\nHave you opened the program and just hit save to check to see where it has been saving to and see if the file is among them? When you go to File>Open, does that program have a "open recent document" option that lists the last few things you've done? But, if you've used search and had it look through the entire system and can't find it at all then it may be gone, sorry. : (

If you saved it to a network drive (ie 'cos you're at work) as opposed to your PC's harddisk, then your IT support people might be able to salvage the previous version(s). It depends how they have things configured.\nAlso IF you had Word configured to save backup copies (see Tools-Option-Save tab "always create backup copy" option) then it would have created a *.wbk file in the same directory as the latest version. Don't save again though or you will loose that backup too.

It could be there if you haven't used the computer much after formatting.  Less chance of being overwritten.\n\nYou will probably need an expert to retrieve it.

if you mean acclink.xls, then no, that is an Excel spreadsheet and you would need excel to open it.\n\nCheers :)

It's definately a compressed file that's been split up, and I *think* it was done with hjsplit http://www.freebyte.com/hjsplit/ I seem to recall it using that format. Use that program to rejoin them. If that's not it... you may need to fish around, but it's *definately* something that's been split up, with a similar program, if not that one. Find the program it was split with, and you'll have what you need to put it back together

If you are refering to a software preloaded with facts and trivia such as found here in YA, I doubt it. BUT, why not save your webpages in YA that have the data you want? Simply click on FILE (In IE 6+), then "SAVE AS", and you can save the whole page that is currently in your browser :)

I understand this is serious, but you still got 50/50 chance of getting it back.\nThe modified attachment you saved was in the "temporary internet file" folder (C:&#92;Documents and Settings&#92;YourUserName&#92;Local Settings&#92;Temporary Internet Files&#92;Content.IE5&#92;StrangecodeFolder) but its deleted when you close the email, so... \nVERY FIRST THING to do is stop using oultook express, internet explorer(IE), or use window explorer as a web browser, if you need to browser the web use another machine, or use mozilla firefox, Netscape etc, as things load from the web by IE will downloaded 1st to the folder and drastically reduce the chance of retrieving your lost file back.\n2. avoid using this pc if you could unless its for/until you getting the file back.\nhttp://www.download.com/PC-Inspector-File-Recovery/3000-2248_4-10118664.html?tag=lst-0-1\n3. download this free file recovery program call PC file inspector from the web and install it. \n4. start the recovery program, click ok to confirm english, click the top 1 of 3 orange icons left of "Recover deleted files", click the 2 drive icon on the list if the 1st one is floppy drive icon, then click ok button.\n5. on your left you see under Deleted, a lot of folder, doubleclick on Documents and Settings,  doubleclick on YourUserName, doubleclick on Local Settings, doubleclick on Temporary Internet Files, doubleclick on Content.IE5, then on your right you'll a folder(s) with strange code name, doubleclick the folder(s), you will see the ghost image of your file.\n6. right click on the name of your file thats lost, choose "save to..." then click my document, then click ok button, go to my document reclaim your file.\nHope you find it back.\nThe above is a solution for win xp, if you're using other system, put addition notes on the question, will check back tomorrow for alternate solution.

Well you probably have already been to http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel/HP012138021033.aspx since you know about the helpful suggestion of using a header or footer instead. \nYou simply are not going to get Excel to do it unless you can find some 3rd party add-on that I don't know about - \nThe only solution I have is to go "low tech" - print out a stack of pages with your needed watermark using Word and then use them to print your Excel Files - \n(This is of course assuming you are wanting to print and not just make it available for viewing on the screen!)

It's not new I've used it for at least a year, downloaded it to avoid paying extra for MS' office suite. It opens all office documents with no problem and haven't had any trouble with compatibility between stuff I do at home on open office and send to work to use in MS office applications. \n\nThere's another free suite called 602PC  I tend to prefer the spreadsheet application in 602pc but I couldn't tell you why. Everything in 602PC is compatible with MS office also.
