If you leave the objecttype and objectname arguments blank, 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.
If you leave the objecttype argument blank, but enter a name in the objectname argument, you must include the objecttype argument’s comma.
The Save method, whether it is executed in the current database or in a library database, always saves the specified object or the active object in the database in which the object was created.
