When I try to save a copy of my query in Microsoft Access, I press File, Save As, Save Object As, rename the file, and save it. I expect the query to save and show up in the Navigation pane but it will not. Only the original query shows up in the navigation pane and the copy of the query is nowhere to be found. Can somebody help with this?

Thanks! I just tried to do the same thing using two different versions.
It worked on this one: Microsoft Access 2016 (16.0.5417.1000) MSO (16.0.5413.1000)
But failed on this one: Microsoft Access 2016 MSO (Version 2309 Build 16.0.16827.20166) Current Channel
So, I might suspect it's a possible bug.

What exactly are you trying to save here, the query or the results?
I have NEVER used File, Save As, Save Object As to save a query, or frankly any object.
Using that method (in Microsoft® Access® for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2310 Build 16.0.16924.20054) 64-bit)it did add a new object to the query collection. But when I want to do that, I right click on the object in the Nav Pane, select Copy, then Paste.
Access Version 2308
The latest version of it
Just curious, which version of Access are you using?
