Can you do window|Unhide?
(Maybe it opens hidden??)

If that doesn't work, you can double check that it actually opened by:
1. Go into the VBE (use alt-f11)
2. Hit ctrl-r to see the project explorer
3. If you don't see something that looks like your filename, then it's not
open.
It may look like:
VBAProject (YourFileNameHere.xls)
(If it's open)

I'm betting that the window was hidden by mistake.

And this is a normal .xls file--not an addin (.xla), right?

I maen you can not see it. This is only happening with one file. I do not
get any error message. It opens excel (or if I do from excel it "appears to
be opening" ) - it has a password and YES I am sure I know it and excel
accepts it. Excel ask if I want read-only and it does not matter whether I
say yes or no.

In excel the file is listed under the File menu, but not under the Window
menu. When I close excel it asks if I want to save changes for this file,
which I have done nothing to!

Well it was hidden in Excel. I had checked this under Attributes in the
Properties menu item when you left click file anme in windows explorer.
Hidden was not checked there! But when I did unhide form excel it appeared.
Guess Properties does not have it right!

Thanks, Dave.
