exporting query to text file [help!]

[alessia]

hi,
I have a query that visualizes me, according to some criterions from
me inserted, name , Surname , Address , phone
ok..

Now, through a button, positioned in a Form,
I have to only export from this query the field telephone in a text
file
the name of the text file I would like to choose me...

the text file example:

345368998756
345894614542
168416616464
165445648250

they will have to appear a telephone number on every line without any
; or "
as in the example that I have done here above..
can someone help me? some example of code?
thanks
alexia

Create a new query "qryExport" which is based on your first query but
selects only the phone number. Then, if the button on your form is named
'cmdExport' the code might be as shown below. Note that if you need a
better way to select the export file path, then there is code for this too.

Private Sub cmdExport_Click ()

On Error GoTo Err_Handler

Dim strPath As String

strPath = InputBox("Enter file path", , "C:\Shared\Test .txt")

If Len(strPath) = 0 Then Exit Sub

DoCmd.TransferT ext acExportDelim, , "qryExport" , strPath

MsgBox "Done", vbInformation

Exit_Handler:
Exit Sub

Err_Handler:
MsgBox Err.Description , vbExclamation, "Error No: " & Err.Number
Resume Exit_Handler

End Sub

OK, work! great! thanks Fletcher!

however when I open the created text file
the telephone numbers come me this way

"33323214154163 85"
"51564684815654 84"

how do I do for eliminating the " "??

I would like only the telephone number in this way

1515645166544
1454468468154

have a good day!

There are a number of ways to do this. Perhaps the easiest is:

1. Select qryExport in the database window.
2. From the menu at the top choose File>Export
3. Select filename and type = text then press Export
4. On this screen you can press "Advanced"
5. Set up your options here - especially change text qualifier from " to
none
6. Choose Save as ..."QryExport Export Specification"
7. Finish export

You can now change the code from:
DoCmd.TransferT ext acExportDelim, , "qryExport" , strPath
to:
DoCmd.TransferT ext acExportDelim, "QryExport Export Specification",
"qryExport" , strPath
If this is too difficult I could write some code to do this for you.

I have tried what you have suggested me you, Fletcher, but I would
prefer to serve everything as code... I would not like to disturb too
much, and if you have of the of leisure time to write the code, I
would be thankful of it... if it doesn't find you possible...don' t
worry you...I thank you... you have been kind indeed.

Hi Alessia
I am glad that you got the code to work. Don't worry about your English -
its fine, and very polite!
The following code is one possible version. It assumes your query is
"qryExport" which contains the field "Tel" - if not change the lines:
Set rst = dbs.OpenRecords et("qryExport" ...
and
Print #intFile, Nz(rst!Tel, "")

When you paste the new code in, make sure you compile the code -
Debug>Compile. If it does not compile, check Tools>Reference s and make sure
the box Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library is checked.

Good Luck

Ciao Super - Fletcher
I mind giving you so much trouble, I have copied the code that you
have given me, I have modified the interested lines, I have compiled
the program...I press the button, I insert the path and the name of
the file, and this error signals me...

Error No: 3061
non enough parameters. 3
[I hope both corrected the translation]

the file test.txt has been created... but it is empty..

I have modified only these lines

Set rst = dbs.OpenRecords et("query_fuori orario_cell",
dbOpenForwardOn ly)
and
Print #intFile, Nz(rst!cell, "")
query_fuori_ora rio : it's my export query
cell : it's a field of query_fuori_ora rio
according to you, as can I resolve this error??

I don't so finally disturb still you...

thx, Fletcher....

where r u from Fletcher?

i live in venice...

have a nice day!

Error 3061 is caused by the query. I don't know what the SQL for
"query_fuoriora rio_cell" looks like, but if you had:

SELECT TelNumber
FROM tblNumbers
WHERE SomeDate=[Forms]![frm1].[txtSomeDate]

Then the query would produce this error. It cannot work out this bit
[Forms]![frm1].[txtSomeDate].

The solution to this is to build up the sql string separately - but this can
be quite complicated. If you would like me to have a look at the database
for you then just create a copy, delete any private data and e-mail it to
me. (I''ve copied this message to your e-mail)
