I was working on a file and I accidentally clicked on something ( I
don't know what) and it disappeared. I brought it up again and it
there is nothing there. It still lives where it is supposed to live,
but no file comes up when I open it. Excel opens and that's it.

When I did a search for the file I get a message that says, " please
insert the last disk of the multi-volume set and continue." Huh??

Is this file gone for good, or is it just hiding somewhere?

Sounds like you might have accidentally hidden the work book.

if you see the file on disk - open it. In 2007 click on the "View" tab -
then find the unhide button. In 2003 I forget. If you cant find it

ALT+F11 (brings up VBA Editor)
CTL+G (displays / hides the imeditate window)

Run this in the imediate window

For each oWindow in Application.Windows: oWindow.visible = True: Next
