What is syntax to export a txt file from Access 2007 database
I wish to export a text file to disk from the results of a query
I am using the syntax:
DoCmd.TransferText acExportFixed, "Export-600-01 C Type", , "R:\Despatch\PBLink\600-01
This message appears:
Run-time error '2495':
The action or method requires a Table Name argument.
Where have I gone wrong? Is there a better way?

Try this:
DoCmd.TransferText acExportDelim, "Standard Output", _
"External Report", "R:\Despatch\PBLink\600-01
DoCmd.TransferText acExportDelim, "Standard Output", _
"External Report", "R:\Despatch\PBLink\600-01

mx: I am not sure whether I should be using the DoCmd.outputto command
raju1: I definitely want file to be fixed length - not delimited

Well ... in your post:
DoCmd.TransferText acExportFixed, "Export-600-01 C Type", , "R:\Despatch\PBLink\600-01
the table or query name goes between the two commas ^^^

As soon as I change line to read:
DoCmd.TransferText acExportFixed, "Export-600-01 C Type", "600-01 C Type", "R:\Despatch\PBLink\600-01
The following message appears:
Run-time error '3625':
The text file specification 'Export-600-01 C Type' does not exist. You
cannot import, export, or link using the specification.

I'm always pleased you are about to prod me in the right direction.
I can go off happily to play squash without worrying about it
