It sounds like you have just sent a shortcut to the memory stick so you only have the path to the file not the file itself.
Is there anyway that you can get the file emailed over to you by someone else.0 -
The document was saved straight onto memory stick so it's not saved on the other computer!
Is there anyway of recovering it?

when you put the memory stick in and see the word.doc icon, click on it, right-click and go to properties - this should tell you how big the file is (in KB's or MB's, probs KB's).
I'd check the original computer for the file, if you/anyone you kow still has access to that computer.Win 2008 in 2008 member number.....237!!! Won so far: £0.00
