Before we finish this exercise, let's close first the active database object and then the
database. (If you want to close the database and exit Access, click the Close button in
the upper-right corner of the program window.)

At the right end of the bar where the page tab for the Categories table is displayed,
click the Close button to close the table without closing the database.
18
Display the Backstage view, and then click Close to close the database without
exiting Access.
TIP If you don't close the active database before opening another one, Access prompts
you to save your changes and closes the active database for you. You cannot have two
databases open simultaneously in a single instance of Access. If you want to have
two databases open at the same time, you must start a new instance of Access.
CLEAN UP Retain your version of the GardenCompany01 database for use in later
exercises.
