Tools > Options > File Locations... see if you can find the save location.
Or you can try searching your hard drive for .asd

Thanks again Kimberly,
When I go to the location pointed to for recovery files there is nothing but an empty folder.
When I search for *.asd files I do indeed find several very old files and eureka! There is one fresh file. It is as if the software decided I was getting too close to catching up with it so it gave up and surrendered.
How does it store the recovery files? Are they stored on top of each other like WP does it's backup files? What triggers a recover save. Clearly it isn't time based since the file should have very nearly the current clock time if that were the case and the software was doing what is advertised so what does it do really?
