Hi,
I'm using Access 97.
I can run a query that finds a number of records, I then need to
access these results to build a formatted text file containing all of
the results. There will be 25 fields per record and potentially any
number of records.
I would have liked to have just produced a report sent to file but
formatted as I need. I don't think I can do this with a report as the
formatting gets messed up, so I think I really need to use VB to take
the results of the query and output them into the text file.
Can someone please give me a start in building the VB to access the
query and loop through the records.
Regards,
Bernard D

If you can create a query that gives you the results you need, TransferText
would export it to a text file. No looping needed.

Yes, but the output file needs to have a specific format - one field
per line with blank lines where appropriate.
Does TransferText do that?

Have you looked at using Mail Merge to output your data to Word?

Okay, if you want to programmaticall y loop the records, exporting one field
per line, this is the basic idea:
Function ExportText() As Long
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim fld As DAO.Field
Open "C:\MyFile. txt" For Output As #1
Set rs = DBEngine(0)(0). OpenRecordset(" Query1")
Do While Not rs.EOF
For Each fld In rs.Fields
Print #1, fld.Name, fld.Value
Next
Print #1, "----------------"
rs.MoveNext
Loop
'Return the number of records exported.
ExportText = rs.RecordCount
rs.Close
Close #1
Set rs = Nothing
End Function

No. Mailmerge won't do.
This MUST be a text file, one field per line and 25 lines per record -
its for importing into a banking system, so it has to conform.
Thanks anyway,

Many thanks that looks like I might be able to use it.

Just a general question to satisfy my natural curiosity. I have noticed
that when I type Date() as part of a procedure behind a form, the ()
brackets drop off the end of it immediately I type them. It does, however
appear to work as though they were there.
Does this mean that I shouldn't use Date as a field name in a procedure as
today's date - Date() ends up as Date after the brackets disappear?
