FileMaker automatically saves the file for you as you work and at close.

To save a copy of it of the file, look under the File Option in the Menu at the top, you will see the option of save. When you select this, if I remember v3,

You have a few options.

For more information on these options, check the file Manual or Online help.

You can't use "save as" on a live database. Do you want this for backup? If so then check out the backup features on FileMaker Server.

Hi Wim,

I know that I'm going blind today, but were did you get Server out of this post?

[Wim Decorte]

The word "live", maybe it's my bias but live files are typically on a server, right? As in "going live" which (in my book) implicitely means for a number of users...

If it was just an file opened locally it would probably have been described as "open file"...

[Lee Smith]

You are probably correct. I just read that to be opened versa closed.

New glasses will be here in a week though.
