I was emailed an excel spreadsheet to update status. I worked it thru an
attachment to the email. I exited, asked to save, I clicked yes, and this
morning none of my changes are saved? why?

Depending on the email program you used (and when you closed the email program
and when you closed the excel file), your attachment may not be saved back as
the attachment to that email.

You may get lucky. The updated file could still exist in your temporary
internet files folder.

I'd try opening excel and clicking on File. Then select the file from the most
recently used file list at the bottom of that dropdown.

If you're unlucky, you may have overwritten the updated file with another copy
of the attachment.

I'd suggest that the first thing you do after you open a workbook from an
attachment to an email is File|SaveAs and put it in a folder of your choice.
