One of the unique things about Access
database is that it requires you to save your
database as soon as you enter the program.
We’ll assume that you’ll save your
work on a floppy diskette in the A: Drive. If you desire
to save on your C: Hard Disk, or in some other drive, please
save to these areas and substitute your Drive for the A: Drive
in the instructions.
Put a formatted disk in the A:
drive.
A File New Database screen similar
to the one below should be on your screen. We’ll have to
do several “things” to set-up this screen to save your database.
In the upper left corner of the File
New Database screen that appears, you will see a
Save in: (see arrow above). Click-on the small
triangle on the right and it will show you the
various disk drives available on which you can save (see
arrow above). Point to the drive on which you want to
save your database, and click-on it. If you choose
the 3½ Floppy (A:), make sure you have a
formatted disk in the A drive. If you choose the C:, choose
the folder in which you want to save by double clicking on the
folder. Your selection should now appear in
the Save in: area
Next click-in the area to the right of
File Name:. Delete any text that is entered in
the area and then type-in the word PERSON as
shown at the bottom of the last page (see arrow
above).
Now click-on Create or tap the Enter
key as shown at the bottom of the last page (see
arrow above).
The following person: Database menu screen
should now appear.
