What did you see when you tried that =cell("Filename",a1) stuff?

Thanks for replying. I was hoping there was a known problem I wasn't aware of.

I didn't launch the spreadsheet from an attachment. I do File/Save (control
S) frequently. I opened the spreadsheet from my last saved documents, so I
was surprised to see that none of the changes were there. That's when I ran
a search doing *.xls with the date to see if the file would pop up by chance
in another directory or name. Nothing showed up except for 2 files that I
had launched from a note and saved. It really has me stumped.

Thanks again.

This is not the first time this has happened. I'm extremely paranoid, so I
save changes frequently when I'm updating my worksheets. I had another
instants on Tuesday when I made changes to a worksheet, saved as I was going
along, closed the workbook and when I reopened the workbook the changes were
not there. I ran a search to see if the file got saved in another directory
or by another name in error. When I searched on *.xls for 7/3/06 I got no
hits. I'm running Windows XP and have 2002 Excel, could that be the
problem.
