How To Saving Your Work in Access 2003
Saving your work is generally a very important part
of working with a program. If you don't save your work, you might lose
important data. With Access, it's also important to save your work, but
you don't have to do it. Access automatically saves your work as you do
it. You don't have to worry about losing your changes, but you do have
to remember that any changes you make are permanent and can be undone by
using the Undo button on the Database toolbar or Undo command on the
Edit menu, or changing your data again. The Undo command provides
multiple undos, where you can step back through your changes.
The Save button on the Database toolbar and the Save
As command on the File menu allow you to save the design aspects of new
or existing database objects, such as a table, query, form, or report,
but not the data the object contains.
When Access saves a new database created in Access
2003, the default file format is Access 2000, which provides maximum
compatibility with existing databases. If you want a different default
file format, you can change it using the Options command on the Tools
menu.
