It's the darndest thing!
It's an Excel file that I use everyday; In fact, it's got its own
shortcut on my desktop.
This morning, Excel says it can't find it...it's been renamed,
deleted, or stolen by homeland security!!!
I've searched in its home folder, the recycle bin, on my entire
computer, and also searched for anything that was close to the
original name.
NADA!!!!

I had a similar problem with Access some time ago. It seems to have to do
with how you save the file. That said, the file you were working with
should be there even if the changes you made are not. In other words,
assuming this is a file You've worked with before and not a new file you
just created yesterday, something you post implies, have you done a search
on file type. I think its xml and it of course would bring up all such
files on your system but it should bring up that file.
As to how I got around the issue, unfortunately I don't remember beyond the
fact that I found both Access and Excel had a weird file saving convention,
which, if you didn't follow, the changes you made wouldn't be saved.
Forgive me, I haven't used either application for awhile.
However, if a search on Excel file type doesn't bring up the file, you might
try this question in microsoft.public.office.misc or
microsoft.public.office.xml.
