hoo boigh! try this:

search on your hard drive for a file named "autorec*.xls" that is anything that begins with the string "autorec" and is an excel file. The file name should appear as something like "Autorecovery of book1.xls". double click on this and wait for it to complete it's work - it will recreate everything you did to the file up to 10 minotes before you crashed. then listen very carefully what I say now:

perform the folloowing: (once it stops):

FILE
SAVE AS

give it a new name. if you fail to do this, you will lose the file when you exit excel. you only get one chance to do this right, so remember to do a "SAVE AS" when it's done.

hope this helps.
