I have 2 files that I created last week (spent a lot of time on them also)
and for some reason they wont open.  Excel asks if I want to update links and
then doesnt do anything.  It looks like the file is open as when I go into
explorer I cant move it - but in excel its just not there.  no error
message... nothing...  I can open other files in this directory and aside
from this excel is working normally.
Please help!!!

Did you accidently hide them?  Select Window, Unhide and see if their
windows got hidden.

Holy crap.  Thats what it was.  How the heck did that happen?  I had 3
worksheets under the hidden.  And IVe never hid one.  Also it didnt show up
under the open files.  I even emailed the file to another person and heis
opened as hidden as well???

Since I know that I never did windows hide - is there any other way that
these files were hidden?  Also - how does something hide itself upon initial
opening of the file?
