Exporting a query with parameters

Tags: access, parameters, query
Hello - I'm trying to Set a QueryDef variable to a particular Select query, that has 1 parameter, and then exporting that query to a text file, using an Export spec:

    Dim dbs As Database, qdf As QueryDef
    Set dbs = CurrentDb()
    Set qdf = dbs.QueryDefs("MyParameterQuery")
    qdf.Parameters("RcdID") = 123456
   
    DoCmd.TransferText acExportFixed, "MyExportSpec", "MyParameterQuery", "C:\ExpTest.txt"

When I run the procedure, Access still prompts me for a value for the parameter when it hits the DoCmd.

Is there a way to make it use the parameter I've valued?

Thanks

Mark

The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is.
