Save As

In some cases, you may want to save your work under a different name, or in a different database. If your session is read-only or has never been saved before, this is the only way you can save it. To save a session with a different name and/or in a different database, do one of the following:

•Open the File menu and choose Save As. .

•Click the Save As button on the toolbar .

•Type Ctrl-Shift-S .

Activating the Save As command brings up the Save Session As dialog:

The Save Session As Dialog

The top part of this dialog contains a list of session databases similar to the one in the Open Session dialog . In this case; however, locked databases are grayed out, since you cannot write session data to a read-only database.

If you want to save your session to a database that is not on the list, use the database buttons in the lower left corner: Open DB to open an existing database, or New DB to create a new one. The Open DB button works as described in the section on Opening a Session Database. (Note that in this context you cannot open the database as read-only since the purpose of opening it is to save a session.) The New DB button works the same as the Open DB button except that you are creating a new database instead of opening an existing one.

Click on a database in the list to use it for saving this session.

The lower part of the Save Session As dialog contains the name to be used for saving the session. Change this as needed to identify your session.

Once you've chosen a database and specified a name, you can click Ok in the upper right corner of the dialog to save the session. The session window will now show the name you chose, and the Save command will now use the name and database you specified to save any further changes.
