If it is "an extremely important file" then you're sure to have a backup.
[And if you didn't this time, I bet you will next time!]

You can, of course, use the search facilities in Windows Explorer to look
for the file elsewhere with the old name, and/or look for alternative names
if you've got a good idea when it was last updated.

Of course I have a back up on a kingston 1gb disc that I also cannot get
into. I am like totally doomed!

Can you find the file TCDBO.tmp.myfile.xls in the local settings/temp folder?

If so, try changing the name to just myfile.xls.

Also.........why can't you access your backup on the kingston disk?
