DoCmd.TransferText - What is "SpecificationName"?
specificationname A string expression that's the name of an import or export specification you've created and saved in the current database.
This argument is required for fixed-width text files. For delimited text files and Microsoft Word mail merge data files, you can leave this argument blank to select the default import/export specifications.

Hi Mac,
Nice to hear from you !
I've been fine. Had to switch jobs this year and I'm still looking for something steady next year, but Access is really keeping me busy :-)
It's not easy in The Netherlands at the moment to get a job in automation, but that's a worldwide problem...
I have a nice book with areal photo's of Colorado, are you located somewhere in the region of Denver perhaps?
C U !

i will probably take the job after the new year, but i'm still in Pennsylvania at the moment.
best of luck finding work in your chosen profession - i'm not excited about the "Office Manager" job they offered, but they really want me, so they offered a good salary.
take care, Nico!

how have you been? thanks for another bit of education. i haven't used the wizard in years and didn't remember that the specs. were there.
what have you been up to?
i'm still working as an Access programmer, but the customer has offered me a terrific salary to run her office in the beautiful mountains of Colorado.
i would miss full time programming, but i could still do it on my own time.
don't know which way to go.
thanks again. and take care!
