The file is in unknown format and cannot be found

Hi @TREXS_JASON9329,

Thank you for sharing the screenshot. In addition to the suggestions shared by the expert, could you please confirm whether the file was saved locally or to a cloud or network drive? Also, which version of Illustrator and which operating system are you using?

If the file was saved to the cloud, try checking if an earlier version is available using the steps here: https://adobe.ly/3K5au0L

You can also try opening Illustrator and checking the Home screen under Recents to see if your file appears there. If you've recently renamed or moved the file, that may also affect access, so do let me know.

Looking forward to your update

Here are some things to try:

• Move the file to a different location on your computer. If it is a file on a network, move it to your computer.
• Restarting Illustrator may solve the problem
• Try changing the file extention to EPS or SVG and see if the file opens in Illustrator.
• Look in Illustrator's auto-save or data reovery folders for a backup version of the file.
