I suggest that you use "MY Computer" to look at the atual file name in 
whatever directory you stored it.  My first experience was very similar. 
 It was because I only spelled out the name when I first saved the 
file, then everytime I modified and saved, I used the icon in the 
toolbar and never again looked at the actual file name. I put the name 
in the Make file that I thought I'd used and got the "No rule to make 
target...".  I wrote to several forums and didn't understand most of 
what they told me.  Until one fellow suggested I use no capitol letters 
in the file names.  This caused me to go back and change all the file 
names and to rename the original file as well.  That is when I 
discovered I had initialy miss-spelled the name.  It wasn't just capitol 
letters, it had the WRONG letters, so I now double check the file 
directory whenever I save.
Good Luck
