I have a workbook creater with Excel 2000 just a few days ago but there's no
way to open it. Coud anyone give me any suggestion?

Hi,
what message do you get?, ask your IT department usually they backup all the
files, did you send the file to somebody?

Thank you Eduardo.

I don't get any error message, the file just doesn't open. Unfortunatately
we backup files only once a month and I created this one just a few days ago.

Does Excel open other files ?
If you are not getting an error message - are you getting a blank sheet ?
Is it possible that you are opening the workbook to a different tab ?

Hi Nora,
when you said the file don't open, does it open a blank file or just you
don't see anything?, don't have any applications of files open and try to
open it from the desktop, go to my computer, search fof the file and open it
from there, let me know what happens
