I have a .vbs script that I'm running from the Windows destkop (intend
to have it run by Windows' task scheduler) to pull an export from MS
Access. Here's the script:
' *************** ***********
dim objAccess
Set objAccess = CreateObject("A ccess.Applicati on")
ObjAccess.OpenC urrentDatabase( "C:\codescratch \db1.mdb")
ObjAccess.DoCmd .TransferText acExportDelim, "Expout Export
Specification", "table1", "C:\expout.txt" , False, ""
ObjAccess.Close CurrentDatabase
Set ObjAccess = Nothing
MsgBox "Script has finished running."
' *************** ***********
....in this code, "Expout Export Specification" is an export spec I
defined in Access for this simple, 3-col. test table. Using it to
export from within Access works fine.
I get no errors in this script, but the output file is not updates
when this is run. No write to that file takes place. I am required
to have some kind of file present on the filesystem at, in this case,
C:\expout.txt or the script complains that it can't find the file.
That seems odd to me. But again, the file is not updated.
What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

This won't automatically overwrite the existing file, I don't think.
You'd have to put a kill statement in your code before running the
export to delete the existing file first.
something like:
Public Function ExportFile()
On Error Resume Next
Kill ("C:\MyTestExpo rt.txt")
DoCmd.TransferT ext acExportDelim, "MySpecificatio n", "MyTable",
"C:\Test.tx t", True
End Function

Hmm...
As I understand, the TransferText method does indeed overwrite the file
if it is present. It is odd to me that it must be present or I receive
a file-not-found error, as well.

ok... im not quite sure how to describe my problem.
i have a php script that runs through my entire php site and writes the
resulting output to html files. this is necessary as the nature of the
hosting available to me for this particular page prohibits me from using

my script works simply by using output buffers and an include

I asked the question yesterday, but know better how to ask it, today:
I'm trying to use the File.Copy method to copy a file from a client to
server (.Net web app under IIS ). It looks to me that when I
give a path like @"C:\holdfiles\myfile.txt" it looks on the server C drive.
How do I pull from the client? Do I need a different class and/or method?
Filestream?

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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,...
