Title basically says it all. I have a macro which imports data from a file, then kills the source file. Now somehow the imported data has been lost and I can't get the source file back. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.

There is no way to "Undo" the delete, the file is not sent to the Windows Recycle Bin(Same for the macro's that use the filesystemobject).
