where do OneNote notes go?

Yesterday I wrote a blog entry while sitting in LAX waiting for my connecting flight to NYC. As I didn't have net access (the Starbucks in LAX apparently don't have the t-mobile hotspots), I wrote the entry in Microsoft OneNote for posting later. So, here I am in a Starbucks in NYC, and I cannot find the OneNote note! I've searched from inside OneNote for the note, I've even searched the hard drive for it, and I can't find it. Can anyone tell me where it went and how I recover it?

BTW, t-mobile WiFi access is USD$0.10 for one minute on a day pass. But you get the first day for free when you sign up using the Starbucks promotion code!

  yeah you'd think that... but they aren't there... turns out that if I create a "new side note" and then don't manually save it before I close it, it just... disappears...

  I dunno ... I am working thru this "new" application, and changed the default "Save My Notes" location to under my "general notes". When I 'close' the app, it saves whatever I have "Side Noted" ...
  
  I think it saves automatically every 30 seconds though and you might have had to use the "save as" function to complete the save, if say you shut down right after completing your note (tell that to the boss ...).
  
  So far so good. I did have one note that I thought I lost but it was found ...
  
  I did though read the Technical FAQ tonight ... to find out how the save function works without a save function ...

  That might help lots.
  
  PS seems you are in Microsoft somewhere ... tell them to enable drag and drop on the tabs so you drag the tabs wherever you want. Otherwise this app is s l o w ... IMHO. I like it though ... 8/10 for a 1.0 is pretty good!

  Thanks Lawrence... will work my way through the FAQ site and see what I come up with... as you said, it claims the notes get saved automatically... mine certainly didnt... anyway... will pass your idea of drag & drop tabs onto the dev team. Slow? I don't find that. Slow how?

  hey I figured out what happened to my disappearing OneNote notes. They weren't OneNote notes... they were Outlook Notes. When I set up Activewords to create a new note, I pointed it to the wrong executable. Doh. Stupid human brain. 24 hour trips in one direction will do that to you.

  Lawrence, Activewords is a great little application that I've been getting to know over the last month. Check it out at http://www.activewords.com . Winplanet.com recently voted it the number 3 best application for 2003. http://www.winplanet.com/winplanet/reviews/5143/3/

  PS ... check out the new ActiveWords Plus application with the very new OneNote Scripts ... http://www.wfzimmerman.com/filemgmt/visit.php?lid=29 ...
  
  These are two really good additions in the why didn't they think of that category of software.
  
  You will love the built in o n s n and the hotter o n s n i p (that one might need some tuning or I do ...)
