Alicia,
You don't say which version of Excel you're using. 2002 and 2003 can repair damaged workbooks in some situations. Try File - Open, and look for a drop-down in the "Open" button. If you have it, try "Open and repair." Try opening it in a later version. Email it to someone, if necessary, just to see if it'll open. -- Earl Kiosterud mvpearl omitthisword at verizon period net ------------------------------------------- "Alicia" wrote in message ...

Just to add to Earl's post.
OpenOffice also has a reputation for opening files that excel can't. (http://www.openoffice.org, a 60-65 meg download or a CD) If the file is really important, there are commercial recovery services. I've never used it, but you might want to check into: http://www.officerecovery.com Alicia wrote: I recently saved a file, when i wanted to open it nothings comes up.
