We know that most things in Access are saved automatically, but you can perform a manual save of a particular database object. Consider the data contained in the Northwind sample database:
If you click File à Save As with the Employees table selected like the picture above, the Save As dialogue box will appear:
In this example, you have the ability to save the Employees table as another table (making a 1:1 copy), a form, a report, or a data access page by clicking the pull-down arrow in the As field.
If we save the Employees table as a form, the new form is constructed and placed in the Forms section of the Database window under the name Copy of Employees (or another name if you give it a custom name):
As you can see, the Save As function is an even simpler version of the Forms wizard. All fields present in the table are listed, and the new form even includes a full listing of all customers the current employee has dealt with in the past.
