Lost a file
I was working on a file in Excel in the past week and now it will not open. It states we can not find the document ----- . Is it possible it was moved, renamed, or deleted. To the best of my knowledge, I closed it as I always do. How can I open this. Your help is appreciated. Thanks

- Its highly likely it was mistakenly deleted....or corrupted, maybe due to virus or system crash. it does happen. try checking if you can locate the temp file. i think its located somewhere along this file path::
"C:\Users\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\UnsavedFiles"
or
"C:\ Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temp"
or
"C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp"
you can try reopening them from there.
or if you have a software recovery, that can come in handy in this kind of scenario.
Hope this helps.
