File Save vs. Store Scenario

The following is a comparison of the functionality of Store Scenario and File Save.

While in Base Case
Store Scenario File Save

Creates a macro with the differences between the temporary database and saved database. This macro is attached to the temporary database file, not the saved database file.

Copies the temporary database to the saved database, thus updating the saved database. Any attached scenarios in the temporary database become attachments in the saved database.

 

While in a Scenario
Store Scenario File Save

Creates a macro with the differences between the temporary database and saved database. This macro is attached to the temporary database file, not the saved database file.

Performs both a scenario store and a file save simultaneously, just as described in the base case.

Performing a File Save enables you to skip the Store Scenario step, as the scenario is stored automatically when the file is saved.
