Default Export CSV and update column with Now()

I thought this would be easier, however I seem to be struggling with
this.

I'd like to create a command button that will look at a certain query I
have created and export the records as a csv file, and also update a
field called dateModified to Now(). That way the next time I run the
query, it looks for null records in dateModified and only executes
records that have not been processed.

I've seen two approaches mentioned. TransferText, and output file in
VBA. I'm fine with either, just need to find a good example.

John

Nope, I have senility and was doing it from memory.
