Dear Beth,
I hope this is not too late...
1) Don't save anything to the network drive. Run a recover utility on
the drive and you may be able to retrieve the files. But if you save
anything, then the new file may overwrite the older one. When you trash
something the blocks are not really "erased", they are marked as being
free to use.
2) Designate a folder on the network drive as being a "Done with this"
folder. have folks throw the old files in there, then once a week
review it and trash the files at that point.
The reason the finder immediately trashes things is because of the
permissions given to it when you log on. Your machine is a "super
guest" rather than an owner, so it can only do certain things while
visiting the network drive.
