I'm not sure what the bottom toolbar is, but if you do a Print Preview, do you
see your data?

If yes, then maybe your worksheet window is just off the visible screen.
In xl2003 menus,
Window|Arrange|tiled
(and arrange the way you like)

If no, then maybe the workbook is hidden.
In xl2003 menus,
Window|Unhide

One of my excel files seems to open but it does not display.The file appears
on the bottom toolbar. When I try to close it I get the save dialogue box and
when clicked appears to close the file.
