INTRODUCTION

When 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.

TIP

Using 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.

TIP

Saving 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.
