File won't open

[Kelly]

We are using Windows 2000 and Excel 2002. A user was
working in an Excel file. She is not sure what she
clicked on, but the file disappeared. When she tries to
open it, it opens the Excel program, but does not open any
workbook or file. It just stays at the application window
with the gray screen.

I have run an office repair but that didn't seem to help
any. Can anyone offer any suggestions?

Thank you for your time.

Hi Kelly,

It's possible that she hid the workbook and saved it that way by
accident. After you open the file, choose Window/Unhide from the Excel menu
and see if that workbook shows up on the list of hidden workbooks. If so,
you can unhide it from there.
