AArdvark:
Some software incl Microsoft's  ;D changes your default location when saving documemts/files.

It is trying to be helpful by remembering your last used location & changes the defualt location.

Happens in all versions of windows.

Never did get to the botton of which particular programs do this and when.
It is inconsistent and will appear to be random.
I tend to use 'Save as' to keep an eye on this and have also been surprised by a 'sudden' change of location  ???

Jgun:
I still had a problem trying to transfer from One Drive using'send to documents'. All it did was to make a copy & still retained it in One Drive so I used cut & paste which solved the problem for the documents I had lost. In future I will keep an eye on it & at least I know where they are. Many thanks for your help

AArdvark:
'Send to' is a copy process. [To be non-destructive is MUST retain the original]
Needed to do a 'Move' which is the same as a 'cut & paste' in the end.
