Saving the Table

When entering data in tables, it is a good habit to save your table frequently. Access will prompt you to save changes whenever you close a table.

To save and name a table:

1. Click the Save button on the toolbar to save your table.
2. If this is the first time you've saved the table, Access will prompt you for a name.
3. Type a meaningful name in the box; then click OK.

You can save a table under a different name by selecting the Save As... command from the File menu.

Other ways to invoke the Save command:

1. Use the keyboard shortcut + .
2. Select Save from the File menu.
