Hi Groupies


Last night I was working on an Access database. I closed the file and its

folder and then decided to go back in to check something. I opened the

folder and THE FILE WASN'T THERE!!


Panic and chaos ensued for a while. I was able to find the file by going

back into access and opening it from it's most recently used file list. I

saved a backup copy etc.....


However, the original file is still not showing up in the folder. I have

changed the folder settings to show hidden files, done a search, everything

I can think of, but the file won't show up.


Thinking that the original is somewhere else and perhaps I have just lost

it, I moved a backup copy into the original folder and tried to change it's

name to that of the original file. Windows gives me the warning that a file

with that name already exists ?!?!?!!


If it exists, how come I can't see it? The folder says there are 9 items but

there are actually 10 if you include this ghost file.


Any ideas???
