Export Data

[BMLekki]

I need to export data from an access database as a *.csv. Any ideas?? Is this possable?

For example you want to export Your table to the temp.csv file with "|" as delimeter

create a recordset from your table and then

rs.movefirst
do while not rs.eof
Open "c:\temp.csv" For Output As #1 'to write to
Print #1, rs!Field(1).Value & "|" & rs!Field(2).Value & ...etc
Close #1
rs.movenext
Loop

The following code will create a .csv file from an Access 2000 table:
Note this will put double quotes around each field in the .csv file. If you do not want the double quotes then use the export wizard to create a specification by changing the text qualifier to none. Put the specification name just before the table name in the code below.

Dim appAccess as new Access.Application
'***********************************************************************
'************* Open Access database and transfer file to DB ************
'Must select Access 8 Object Library for Access 97 &
'Access 9 Library for Access 2000 in Project|References
'Open Database DB Path Exclusive
appAccess.OpenCurrentDatabase "Path\Some..MDB", true

' Transfer text file to database
appAccess.DoCmd.TransferText acExportDelim,"[Specification Name if required]" , "Tablename", "Path\somefile.csv", 1

' Close
appAccess.CloseCurrentDatabase

' set object to nothing
set appAccess = nothing
