I'm trying to create a regulart line graph from a set of data.  Everytime I
try to change the x-axis to timescale it automatically changes my y-axis data
range and my data points disappear.  So then I go and change the y-axis data
range back to what is was but my data points and line graph won't show.  
Please help.

I suspect it's a mismatch of X values, not Y values. What are the X and Y
values in your chart series, and what range are you trying to plot on your
time scale axis?

I want the years to range from 1990 to 2007.  And my "y" values have a range
of $0 to $650,000.

Are the X values just in years? Make your life easier and make an XY chart.
You can connect the markers with lines.

If the first year is 1990, does the first date look like 6/12/1905? That's
the 1900th day in Excel's calendar. To make the time axis work with a line
chart, enter your dates as complete dates, like 1/1/1990.
