Creating a stored procedure in SQL Server Management Studio

I have a database that I want to add stored procedures but when I go to save the stored procedure it asked me to save it as a .sql file and doesn;t add it to the database.

This is what I'm doing:

right click on database > programability > stored procedures

select "new Stored Procedure"

writting the procedure

then save - this is when i get the save dialogue rather than seeing the sp added to the database.

There must be something very simple that I'm doing wrong but I just can't figure it out, any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need to execute this command (that begins with CREATE PROCEDURE) instead of saving to disk.

So, you need to press F5 or press the Execute Button from program bar.
