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!

Round to nearest half hour?
Use =MROUND(A2,"0:30") to round to nearest half hour. Use =CEILING(A2,"0:30") to round to next half hour.

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).
