DoCmd.Save Method
| Access Developer Reference |
The Save method carries out the Save action in Visual Basic.
Syntax
expression.Save(ObjectType, ObjectName)
expression A variable that represents a DoCmd object.
Parameters
| Name | Required/Optional | Data Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| ObjectType | Optional | AcObjectType | A AcObjectType constant that specifies the type of object you want to save. |
| ObjectName | Optional | Variant | A string expression that's the valid name of an object of the type selected by the objecttype argument. |
Remarks
The Save method works on all database objects that the user can explicitly open and save. The specified object must be open for the Save method to have any effect on the object.
If you leave the objecttype and objectname arguments blank (the default constant, acDefault, is assumed for the objecttype argument), Microsoft Access saves the active object. If you leave the objecttype argument blank, but enter a name in the objectname argument, Microsoft Access saves the active object with the specified name. If you enter an object type in the objecttype argument, you must enter an existing object's name in the objectname argument.
