how to find MS Access files

Anonymous

I did a 'tune up' on my computer, and even though I set a restore point, after the tune up the restore point disappeared and I don't know where the Access database is. I can open up the application, but I need to find where the database is. Can anyone help?

Thanks!

    You can also try going into Microsoft Access and clicking on the Microsoft logo circle in the upper left hand corner and clicking on Open.  To the right you will see a list of recently used files - and your file may be found there if it was recently accessed.

    Good luck!

    Hello,

    You can also try searching for the file.

    Click on start.

    Open 'My computer'

    Use the search bar next to address bar to search for the file.

    Let us know what happens.
