bulletSaving in Access is different than Word, Excel, PowerPoint and many other programs. Think of the filename as a big box (database) to put all your items in. Then you save objects such as tables, queries, forms, and reports inside the box into the database window. Click on each of the object buttons on the left to see that you've saved them.
bulletSave the file names with the long filename, but use the names in the Access Object Name in your Goals & Effort sheet for the objects.
