"The solutions and answers provided on Experts Exchange have been extremely helpful to me over the last few years. I wear a lot of hats - Developer, Database Administrator, Help Desk, etc., so I know a lot of things but not a lot about one thing. Experts Exchange gives me answers from people who do know a lot about one thing, in a easy to use platform." -Todd S.

If you have Access 95 or better, here's how:
1) Open the database and select the table to export
2) Click on 'File | SaveAs/Export'
3) In the 'SaveAs...' dialog, click on 'To an External File or Database'
4) Click on 'OK'
5) In the 'Save Table..' dialog, click on 'Save as type' and select 'Text Files...'
6) In the 'Export Text' wizard, click on the 'Advanced' button
7) In the 'Client Export Specification' dialog, enter a '~' in the 'Field Delimiter' text field.

From here you can set whatever other options you choose and follow the wizard's instructions.
