MS Access VBA exporting using Specification
Posted on 2013-01-02
Hello,
I created and saved a new specification to output a table to text which can be viewed inside the Saved Exports tab but the VBA returns an error message saying the text file specification "kkk" does not exist. Can you please help?
I only changed the name of the "file specification" as the below code has been working for years however I can manually use the Specification.
Private Sub EXPORT_Click()
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.Hourglass True
Dim db As Database
Dim rs As Recordset
Dim qdf As String
qdf = DLookup("GLcount", "1f2_Admin_Exp_Table_Stats
Set db = CurrentDb
DoCmd.OpenQuery "1f6a_check_req_tbl_DELETE
DoCmd.OpenQuery "1f6c_check_req_append_MD"
DoCmd.TransferText acExport, "Export-tblCk_Requests", "tblCk_Reqs", "S:\Finance\Accounting Operations\National Accounts\Consortium Pricing\PAR\nasco_ap_ck_md
DoCmd.OpenQuery "QdelTblCK_regsAll", acViewNormal, acEdit
DoCmd.OpenQuery "QappTblCK_regsAllmd", acViewNormal, acEdit
DoCmd.OpenQuery "1f6a_check_req_tbl_DELETE
DoCmd.OpenQuery "1f6b_check_req_append_DC"
DoCmd.TransferText acExport, "Export-tblCk_Requests", "tblCk_Reqs", "S:\Finance\Accounting Operations\National Accounts\Consortium Pricing\PAR\nasco_ap_ck_dc
DoCmd.OpenQuery "QappTblCK_regsAlldc", acViewNormal, acEdit
DoCmd.Hourglass False
MsgBox "The MD and DC files have been copied to the S drive, please verify the totals and copy them to the R drive!!"
DoCmd.SetWarnings True
End Sub
Thanks,
Bob

This illustrate the confusion over "Saved Exports" and "Export Specifications"
They *are not* the same thing and cannot be used interchangeably.
<I created and saved a new specification to output a table to text which can be viewed inside the Saved Exports tab>
Then you created a "Saved Export", ...*Not* and export Specification.
Only Saved Exports are exposed on the Saved Exports tab, ...not Export Specifications
You create a saved export/import by clicking the "Save Export/import steps" button at the end of an Import/Export.
You create a import/export "Specification", by clicking on the "Advanced" button while doing a manual import/export. and saving the Spec as a name.
You *can* use a Import/Export specification in code.
You *cannot* use a saved import/export in code, you must access saved import/Exports manually through the ribbon tab
(Conversely, you cannot "see" any import/export Specifications on the Ribbon/tab, these are only really visible in the MsysObjects table.
In other words, you just have to remember the name of your Specification if you want to use it in code.
"Saved Import/Exports" were created as a way for an average user to do the same import/export without knowing any code.
