Saved a contact data base and then it disappeared

[Nancr3]

I spend 6 hours creating a contact list in access. I saved it with the save disc icon. Then it asked if I wanted to "save as". I gave it a new descriptive name and saved it. I cannot find it anywhere now. I've looks in every folder of my document. I've searched with the computer search. I've opened Access and looked at every "recent" access document. Nothing. I've checked the cloud. Where else can I look? Why would it vanish when I'd saved it two ways. I'm confused and frustrated. Any help would be appreciated. Nancr3

try creating a new db - just enough to save then go through the save routine again, this time noting where it is being saved to - my guess is you will find your file there
