The report is saved. When you close the report, it will be listed in the database window with the name you typed in step 2. |
INTRODUCTIONWhen you create a report using the Report Wizard, it is saved automatically with the name you specify. If you create an AutoReport or a report from scratch (not covered in this book), however, you'll need to name and save it manually. In addition, you must save a report after making changes to the report's design. |
TIPUsing the Save As Command When you modify a report's design, the new version of the report replaces the report you started with. If you want to keep the original report, save the new report under a new name by using the File, Save As command. Type a new name. |
TIPSaving the Report If you prefer, you can click the Save button to save a report. If you try to close a report without saving first, you will be prompted to save; click Yes to save the report. |
