Hi!

I'm a newbie with Access.
Today, I used Access for the first time to create wine tasting notes.
It went well - there was a wine list template -, but I could not
locate the file.
Although Access shows you the database when you execute Access, i want
to move around the file - between home and work - so that it's
important that I know the exact location of the file.
Where are the data files stored?
Is it Ok to move data files around for editing?
 
The Access database is the file with the .mdb extension in the folder you
created it in.

It is very common to copy the .mdb file to a disk (floppy disk at first and
then Zip Disk as it gets bigger)
and carry it between work and home. (Other ideas include zipping the file to
make it smaller and also e0mailing it to yourself from work or home.)
