Hello, Brad:
I followed through on your advice, and the results were most interesting.
Once the Properties file was open, I had interesting choices.
a trace on files going back as far as 1 week, 1 month, or one year.
I was able to find a spreadsheet, that I had lost only days ago.
There was some data missing, but that can be restored.
I'd like to move it back into "my documents" and make it active once again.
Is there a keyboard for moving a spreadsheet? The usual control shift V
didn't work for me.
Cliff

Cliff. How do you know the properties are unavailable if you can't find
the file to look at them? Other than the obvious "that the file isn't
there".
If it is lost. If you know the file name or even part of it, try a
Windows Key plus F to search for it in the directories you think it might
be in, or just search the entire drive. When you find it then with it
highlighted in the results area of the search, try Alt Enter to view the
file properties. You can also use apps key, or right click it. If you see
it is misplaced, just CTRL X to cut it and then go to the folder you want
it in and paste it back in. Once found then you can look at how it might
have gotten there. Check your recycle bin as well but if you search your
drive and its in there it ought show up in the search.

A file that was lost, back on Friday, was a spreadsheet I use for our
Friday Night Bingo sessions.
Either in "My Documents" or in Excel, that file is misplaced. In both
instances, the properties are "unavailable.
