It's generally a good idea to create a new restore point every day, that way any foul-ups you make can easily be resolved. Personally i think your file's gone forever, but i may be wrong.

Search for FINAL DATA you can even retrieve files from a quick formatted disk. So I think u have a chance.
BTW - Making a restore point is useless cause it doesn't affect self created files, and since this is a Excel file it wouldn't affect it.

Think Terriz is right, no?? Restore isn't effective on files like word and excel like Homer mentioned are they?
