asked on

how to export query results to a .csv file

I need to end up with a csv file that can be used for import and export from one program into another.

I have an access database that reads the data from one program via odbc, massages it and preps it for export into the second program.

there is a query that orders the data for presentation and its the query results that need to end up as the csv file.

I found transfertext, but that only works on tables, not query results.  the table is all text and doesnt export in the correct order.  so I added a query to sort the data.

Any hints?

ACCESS 07 is the version

Yes I tried, I get and error from the transfertext function, if I name a query instead of a table I get this error:

I got a Run Time Error '2495'

The Action or Method requires a Table Name argument

I dont have a space in the query name, but I didnt have the query name in quotes ("") I didnt think you needed them when there werent spaces, but now its working, thanks for the reminder.
