Hello Friends, before anything let me tell you that I am not a regular computer user, I use computers since 1984, I like to build them and I regularly solve most of the problems I found with the software in my daily basis.
In 2008 I found what seemed an unreported bug in excel 2007 In those days I was still using office 2003, I switched to excel 2007 and I found that when I opened a file created in excel 2003 I lost 2 worksheets (default 2 and 3 sheets) and in the file just remained the worksheet numbered as sheet 1; first I panic searched in google but couldn’t find anything so what I did was reinstall the old version of excel and Voila, the lost pages came back, it was not a problem of the sheets been hidden, in other window or minimized, no they had gone. Based in this supposed bug, a few months after this founding I reinstalled the 2003 version of excel and I “hide”
Some important information in the sheets number 2 and 3 assuming that it would only be visible using that version of excel.
The years passed and I throw away the old software versions I used, now I need the information and it has not been possible to recover, I have tried everything, even buy a rig as the one I had back then and try to reinstall all the excel 2003 versions I found, I have tried combining with all the versions windows vista and windows xp; of course I have also tried newer versions and double check is not a problem of hidden sheets somehow. I also have tried some “tools” to recover corrupted files and so but nothing seems to work, do not remember the specific version I had but I remember it was not original.
I need the help of an expert.
Thank you.
