Saving my database to a different location
I am now using Access 2007. I think I am right that in earlier versions it
was easy to click on 'Save as' and save a copy of your database anywhere you likes. Can anyone help me with two questions? 1) When I click on 'Save that' I get a very unhelpful box that doesn't let me save a copy of the database where I want to - is there a way to do this? 2) Is there a way to set a default location for my access databases? Many thanks, Noel |

Many thanks, Noel Just copy the database in Windows Explorer. Access doesn't let you "Save As" a complete database. Only objects (tables, queries, reports, etc...) can be "Saved As" Hope this helps, Chris M. |

Ummm... your memory is at fault here. SaveAs has never (since Access 2.0) let you save an entire database; it lets you save an object IN a database, such as a form or report. Just copy or move the .mdb or .accdb file using Windows Explorer. -- John W. Vinson [MVP] |
