Hello,
Used these boards a few times before to find answers, wondered if somebody could help me out. (Using Access 2000, and DAO Reference Library).
I have some code which used TransferText to link a series of Text files into the database. I then called a function which ran some validation through the entries imported by calling OpenRecordset with an SQL query to access the linked files (nothing complex, just a SELECT * FROM TableName command).
This was working fine. Then I decided to start working with a second database open in the same workspace. I never modified the original code, and suddenly I'm getting this issue with the OpenRecordset command. An error message comes up saying it cannot find the specified table (even though I can see it has clearly linked it by this point in the tables view).
What's weird is that when I click on Debug, it takes me to that line and highlights it, and if I use Step Through or tell the code to continue running, it then has no problem with the line and carries on until it gets to the next attempt to run the command (which would be on the next file it linked).
Does Access have some kind of time delay when linking external files into a database before OpenRecordset can access them?
If not, do I need to add some additional specifier somewhere which allow the command to more accurately locate the table?
Regards,
peridian.

It may be that you are not closing your recordsets or reseting the database.
Post the relevant code here. You can leave out any record loops or updates. Just put in brief desciption of actions that are omited.

I am trying to export a set of files to my hard drive to then later be FTPd to a server. the file format should be "TITLE.yyyymmdd" where yymmdd is the date code for when the files are created.
The files can't be .txt. But when I run the files as ".txt" the code runs just fine. when I...

Hi All
I am using the docmd.transfertext to export my query as a .csv file.
I am using an export spec which is seperated by a pipe.
The problem I have is that I added an extra column onto the end of my
query and updated the spec.
The new column is an integer but when I export it, it always exports
as a text field i.e "100". With quotes around it.

Hello,
I have a possible problem exporting a text field that happens to
contain dates (but is not a date field) when using TransferText in MS
Access 2000.
I am exporting a query to a text file using TransferText in a module.
One of my fields is a text field called "invoice description". This
field may include any content including dates (e.g., 01/01/2006,
1/1/2006, 01/01/06, Invoice #1, Jan 2006, 293842, etc. are all

I seem to have a problem with the use of the TransferText function.
In 2 applications that I have, every few months, it seems to not
export a few records from a table. In another application, every 2-3
months the users would start getting run time errors after they
exported data from my program.
Is anyone aware of problems with this function with these kind of
results. The following is a code fragement:

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.
Here is my compilation command:
