    You may be lucky and it's kept a copy in the Autosave folder.
    Open a fresh instance of Excel and check where it does the autosaves (providing it's switched on) and check that folder.

    If you're using 2003 then have a look in Tools/Options/Save and have a look in the Autosave box for the path.
    If you're using anything newer, I can't remember but I know Google knows.
