If no changes have been made to a view, or the view is not newly created, the Save command is not
available.

2 Select the View menu, then select Save .
The Save Current View procedure can also be initiated by the Save Current View toolbar button.
The message View successfully saved appears in the Status/Message area .

the Save as command instead.
