Save As is similar but gives you the opportunity to change the file name.

Note

We recommend that you do not unnecessarily change the folder when saving your files. Submitting your report will be much simpler if all of your report files are in one place and the identity information from the registration form is always stored in the default report folder.  If you need to keep several separate reports on one computer, you can always change the report root.

Saving a File for the First Time or Using Save As

  1. Choose the Save or Save As menu item on the Tools menu.

Warning
titleImportant

If you choose to save the same data several times to different files — for example, if you save the file, edit it by adding more data, then save it again with a different name — please submit only the final version with your report.  Please avoid submitting duplicate pesticide application or sales records.
