Hi.

I need this document. I have worked many days with this material.
----------------------------do anyone know, what to do and how to do it?


The recommended method is to make regular backups of valuable files, test
the backups periodically to ensure that they're good, and then restore files
from your most recent backup whenever disaster strikes. If you don't have a
backup, then you have sufficient proof that the file wasn't valuable,
despite any claim to the contrary.

Hi,

Thanks for writing, but I need need to know if I can read this rescue
txt.document. The thing is that I had just only used the USB memory, which
was very stupid of me. I am new with computers and know little.

Hi.

I need need to know if I can read this rescue
txt.document.


Try reading the file with the software application you used to create the
document. If you can't, then the file is corrupted and you need to restore
from backup.

I am new with computers and know little.


I suggest that you sign up for some formal beginning computer classes or
else get tutoring from a knowledgeable computer user to find out how to use
your computer.

HTH.

Well, you're asking in the wrong place. This newsgroup is for the database
software Microsoft Access.

As Gunny says, you may be in a tough spot. If the document is gone from the
usb drive, it's probably gone for good. There are disk file recovery services
(that start at $300 for just looking) but flash drives are a different
technology, and I don't know if there are any methods to recover lost files.

Try reposting in a Word newsgroup (scroll down the list of subject areas).
It's just faintly possible that this backup copy might be salvagable (if you
didn't save it after opening it in Notepad or Word - if you did, it's almost
surely destroyed now).

Thanks for your answer. How stupid of me. I'm new on this, first time using
this service. I'll try to find help in Word newsgroup. But I think I'm out of
luck and it sucks.
