Richard,
Nothing to do with OE; it's just that Access is a different animal, which a first time user would k=not know, of course. It does not behave like Excel or Word, so no, you will not find a Save As menu item, and you will not be prompted to save data as you enter/change it.
To change the file name or save it in a different folder, you need to resort to Windows Explorer (or My Computer).
New / changed data is saved automatically as you move out of a record, to the previous or next or new one, or close the form it was entered / edited into.
Now, in order to find the database file in your HDD, try the following:
* look in "My recent documents" under Start
* open Access and look at the recent files
* if you opened the database directly from OE, then open an Excel or Word file attached in a mail, and then go File > Save As; notice the temporary folder it is saved in; chances are the database file is also in that folder
* all the above failing, do a search for the .mdb file in your HDD (Start > Search); it might help to restrict by date (last modified) if you suspect there are several versions of the file on your machine.
HTH, Nikos .
