That file is usually created in the same folder as the original workbook.

But with a network connection that's dropped, maybe it gets store elsewhere (I'm
not sure).

But I'd search my local harddrives (windows start button|search or find) for any
file that was created around that time/date.

(If you know the name, search for that directly. And make sure you search
through hidden folders, too.)

When I open excel at work, my default file path is on a network drive.

If I open excel when I'm not connected to the network, excel changes my default
drive to something under:

C:\documents and settings\username\application data\microsoft\... (and I forget
where it ends!)

Maybe looking there would help.
 
Thanks a lot for your sugest.
