Make sure it's not something simple. When it opens make sure that you are looking at the blocks that you think you are. Which is to say make sure that the block in the upper right is A1. Also, I know Excel 2000 saves files in "books" if there is more than one sheet. If when you created the book you opened a new sheet, then you could be looking at a blank sheet you never used in that book. Try minimizing the interior window and see if there are other sheets in the lower left corner. I don't know your level of experience with excel but I could see that being a common error among beginners. Hope this helped. Justin
