Publishing an access report in word...where did my file go?

I have an access report that I have been publishing in word using that little
icon on the top of the report. All of a sudden, when I click the icon, it
looks like it is creating the document, but then it does not open, and I
can't find the word doc.
How do I find it?

It will probably save in the default database folder.
For a2003 or earlier, that's defined under:
Tools | Options | General

The file will have an RTF extension (rich text format), and the same name as
the report. So, if the report is called Report1, you are searching for a
document named Report1.rtf

Thanks so much for the response. I looked up where it should be going, looks
like it is not making it there. Maybe it is not actually publishing? Any
suggestions?

I assume you have tried using the Windows search to find the file with that
name someone on your drive?

It might go somewhere else if you changed the current directory in code.
