A excel file has disappeared from a document location and although is still
listed in the excel open file menu it results in the mess: cannot find file,
has the file been moved or renamed. I have also done a search and it cannot
find the file excel document. The file was backed up.
Any suggestions?
 
Excel does not cause files to disappear.

So...........this is not an Excel problem but a user problem.

How have you done the search? Windows search?

In My Computer>Tools>Folder Options>View check your settings.

Are you set to show all files and extensioms?

Maybe someone simply deleted the file?

Did you check recycle bin?

If the file was backed up, retrieve it from your backup location.
