You didn't save it or the document was saved to the My Documents folder rather than the folder you thought you specified.

Try adding the data and time to the file name using FileSaveAs to check where you are actually saving your document.

If the document is an email attachment, all you're doing is saving the temporary copy your email app creates when you open the file. All your edits will be lost as soon as you exit the email app. Such edits as are saved till then are written to a temporary folder; re-opening the temporary file, rather than the attachment, will give you access to those edits until you exit your email app.
