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.
