P,
I tried the hammer before I ever approached the group, to no avail.
GET THIS:
THERE IS NO FOLDER under C/D&S/Bill Hepburn (PERIOD). Despite the fact that
the recent list in access tells me so when I hover (I have opened it lately
using recent). Futhermore, I did an explorer search on all of C and found the
file in the same location we've been discussing.
I d&ded it to another folder but it doesn't appear when I look at that
folder. I did another explorer search on that folder and once again found the
file listed with the location C:/Documents and Settings/Bill Hepburn/my
documents/billsdocs, which is exactly where I draged it but it's still not
visible.
NO MATTER WHERE I PLACE IT IS INVISIBLE UNLESS I USER EXPLORER TO SEARCH FOR
IT THEN IT OPENS FINE. ?????????? When I use the explorer or my computer file
system to try to drill down to the location indicated I just get to
C:/D&S/All Users/Desktop/ and there are only two shortcuts to be seen. There
is no Bill Hepburn folder under Documents and Settings.

Fine. Use your sledge hammer and force the issue:.
1. Open "My Computer".
2. Navigate to "C:\Documents and Settings\Bill Hepburn\Desktop"
3. Copy the file "Contacts.mdb" to "New Contacts.mdb" in the same folder.
4. Check if it is visible and useable on your desktop.
5. If yes, delete the original.
6. Rename the copy to the original's name.

What you say is logical. However, I already took this step. I auto
arranged
the icons but still no icon representing this file.

Your reply tells me the follwing:
- You are currently logged on as "Bill Hepburn"
- You use this profile folder: C:\Documents and Settings\Bill Hepburn
- You keep this database in C:\Documents and Settings\Bill
Hepburn\Desktop:
Contacts.mdb
If you cannot see this file on your desktop then it's probably
covered up by some shortcut. Here are a few ways to access it:
- Move your shortcuts about until you see the file.
- Right-click an empty desktop area, then click "Arrange Icons by" and
"Auto-Arrange".
- Use "My Computer" or "Windows Explorer" to open it.
When you find it, rember to back it up every few days. You expressed
some concern in your initial post about the file disappearing for good
some day. Your concern is justified - if you fail to back up the file!
