It has been a little while since I have worked in Access but this is
ridiculous. I have a database set up that I am calling Store contacts.
I am trying to save it from my C: drive to another harddrive on my
system. I keep trying to do a save as but I am not having any luck. Can
someone help me with this "Simple" task.

Thanks :confused:
 
Go to My Computer or Windows Explorer and copy or move the file to the new location.
 
A "senior moment"? As in being too old to think straight? Hmm.. just a
cautionary note: there are a lot of ...uh ... "seniors"... who answer
questions here. I've actually seen them brag about who is the oldest, or
who's been working with computers the longest! So, you might not want to
rile them up or they might beat you senseless with boxes of punched cards!
<g>

Cheers!

P.S. Technically, not a senior... but when the kids are being bad, well... I
might as well be...
 
Dang, you are old.......lol ;-)

I'm old also.......but I think you have me beat....

I only remember the Amiga and a Commodore 64.

An Access database isn't a "document" like a Word doc or an Excel
spreadsheet; it's a container for multiple objects. As such there is
no "save as" on the Access menus (for the database as a whole,
anyway).

Just open Windows Explorer or My Computer and copy the .mdb file.
 
I was in uni. when only the senior students (3rd & 4th year) were allowed to
use the card punch. 1st-year students (including me) had to buy the
"pencil - in" cards and pencilled in the little rectangle as one character
of the code. Imagine how long it would take to write a program with 100
lines of code.
