Exporting Numeric Fields in csv format to a text file

All,

I am trying to export an access table to a text file. This table has a
numeric field (Double) and when I export it to a text file, I see the
number in the scientific format.

MS-Access Format
0.005568
0.005568
0.000812

Text File Format
5.568e-03
5.568e-03
8.12e-04

Please let me know what can be done to figure out a solution

Thanks a lot

Regards,
Abhishek

1. Create a query into this table.

2. Enter a calculated field:
MyNumber: Format([MyField], #0.000000")

3. Export the query.

Did you specify an output specification? IF not, I would start there.
Otherwise, create a query and see if Cstr(MyNumericV alue) works.
Then just specify no delimiters on your text field (no quotes). And
if that doesn't work, keep playing with it.

I have a process that exports an Access table to a comma-delimited text file. One of the fields that is exported shows the date it was exported, using the Date() function. In the Access table, the date appears in the records in mm/dd/yyyy format, but after exporting, the date appears as mm/dd/yyyy 0:00:00. For example, today is 11/06/2003. It shows 11/06/03 in the Access table, but the exported text file shows 11/6/03 0:00:00. I thought...

Hello! Here, in brief, is my problem. Access 2002. I need to export to a csv text file with text delimiters on every field. I find that if I save the original data in Excel and make sure the data format selected is text it, when I open it in Access and try to export it will put the quotes around all the string data, including null values, but will not put quotes around the numeric data. Anyone have any ideas on how I can force it to...

In order to save typing, I've borrowed the text from a post of nearly 12 months ago.....but the problem still exists. I've been banging my head all day with this, so I'm hoping someone has some suggestions for me: I'm trying to either print or export some Crystal Reports in asp.net web application. The reports were made with CR 9.0, get their data from an SQL Server 2000 database.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
