Saving the Completed Table

You can save the completed table design by choosing Office Button Save or by clicking the Save button in the upper-left corner of the Access environment. If you are saving the table for the first time, Access asks for the name of the table. Table names can be up to 64 characters long and follow standard Access object-naming conventions.

If you have saved this table before and want to save it with a different name, choose Office Button Save As and enter a different table name. This action creates a new table design and leaves the original table with its original name untouched. If you want to delete the old table, select it in the Navigation pane and press the Delete key. You can also save the table when you close it.
