Joe:

You will need to change the delimiter in the output specification, and then
reference the specification in code.

Alternatively, you can create a specification by inserting into the
MSysIMEXSpecs and MSysIMEXColumns tables.

Presumably the text file is generated from a report. In the design of the
report add: &"{delininat or} " every place where you want a special
delininator to be placed. Leave a space between the deliminator and the
closing quote.

=[FirstName] & "; " & [Phone] & "; " & "prints semicolons" will print like
this:
Chuck; 123-456-7890; prints semicolons

Chuck

Hi! I would like to export some MS-Access reports output to pdf. However, the only possibility offered by Access (afaik) for me to export formatted output is snp (snapshot) (I use MS-Office XP Prof. 2002 version). With formatted output I mean the *exactly* output I produce from executing my report (information is gathered from an ODBC database).
