Where is my file 2

Would someone please take a look at my thread of "where is my file".
Maybe you know the answer and can also tell me why I seem to have tilted
Mike.

Not sure if it is related, but I ran across something strange this morning.
Browsed to archive where I keep some data.
Specifically a folder that contains data and forms for Vietnam Vets and
noticed a file name that I never created, except unknowingly.

DDCC7300

No extension even. I did a search for *DDCC7300*.* to see if I might have
passed over a file of same or similar name with pointer and accidentally
saved to that name in a different folder. It only returned the one file. So
I have no idea how it came about. But if I open it is an excel file. An
older version of a database that I have since added more sheets and data to.

Note, my original thread was about search, and am now double bewildered.
Any ideas to how this file came about or my stupidity about search are
appreciated.

TIA Norman

If you don't understand that refusing to answer questions when you've been
asked twice then there is little point in continuing. If you really want
to get help then you need to cooperate with those trying to help you,
something you simply don't seem capable of doing.

Thanks for the input on that strange file. That was one of my thoughts as
well, how it got created, but I needed a vote of confidence. Especially with
other issue and undetermined yet. First time I've used a SG drive, hoping
they are good. Also 160G limited to 137G. I remember a time when stuff
started acting weird like this after some use and finally scrambling to the
point I had nothing. Think it 98SE without update for drives larger than
64?G on an 80G.
So, hopefully just the one problem to pursue.

Wish you had given the MID$ for that thread. Your OP in that thread is:

Message-ID:

for people who know how to search on that.

As for what "tilted" Mike, well, check my response to that post. An MID$
search should find:

Message-ID:

There is a short list of 7 of the files and folders found, out of the 78
files and folders the search turned up.

Could be a remnant of a temporary file created by Excel. I don't use that
application, so I am not sure. It probably is unrelated to your search
issues.
