Hi I am getting the error &quot;The action or method requires a file name argument&quot; in the following<br />
<br />
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, , &quot;q_TransferTransactions&quot;, , True<br />

Is it not possible to just export the query so that it opens in Excel?

Access VBA export query to Excel file without a file/path

Microsoft Access is a rapid application development (RAD) relational database tool. Access can be used for both desktop and web-based applications, and uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as its coding language.

Microsoft Access

Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) enables building user-defined functions (UDFs), automating processes and accessing Windows API and other low-level functionality through dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). VBA is closely related to Visual Basic and uses the Visual Basic Runtime Library, but it can normally only run code within a host application rather than as a standalone program. It can, however, be used to control one application from another via OLE Automation. VBA is built into most Microsoft Office applications.
