Access export file

This decision affects three aspects of the resulting file — the type of text file that the process creates, the amount of data that is exported, and the display format of the data.

The following table describes the outcome of exporting formatted and unformatted data. Format property settings are ignored during the export operation. To export only a portion of a table, query, or form, open the object in datasheet view, and then select only the records that you want.

In the Export - Text File dialog box, accept or change the name that Access suggests for the text file. If you are exporting a table or a query, and you want to export data with formatting and layout, select the Export data with formatting and layout check box.

If you are exporting a form or a report, the option is always selected, but appears dimmed. Note: If you don't select the first check box, you can't select the second or third check boxes. To view the destination text file after the export operation is complete, select the Open the destination file after the export operation is complete check box.

If the source is a datasheet, and you selected some records in the open datasheet before starting the export operation, you can select the Export only the selected records check box. However, if you want to export all of the records that are in the datasheet view, leave the check box unselected.

Note: This check box is unavailable appears dimmed if none of the records in the source datasheet are selected, or if the source is not a datasheet. If a text file that you specify in step 2 already exists, Access prompts you to overwrite the file. Click Yes to overwrite, or click No to return to the Export - Text File dialog box to specify a different name.

Important: You cannot append data to an existing text file. If you are exporting data with formatting and layout, you are asked to choose the encoding to be used for saving the file. Either accept the default, or select the option that you want, and then click OK. If you choose to export the data without any formatting or layout, the Export Text Wizard starts and prompts you to select the type of text file that you want to create.

Click Delimited or Fixed-Width , and then click Next. The choice you make usually depends on the system that works with the exported files.

Some programs work with delimited files, and some will work with either delimited or fixed-width. If users need to look at the data, a fixed-width file can be much easier to read than a delimited file. Under Choose the delimiter that separates your fields , select or specify the character that delimits the fields - Tab, Semicolon, Comma, Space, or Other. In the Text Qualifier list, select the text qualifier the character that is used to enclose text values.

If your source data includes multivalued fields, and if you chose the semicolon as the delimiting character, selecting a text qualifier is very important, because enclosing the value list in a pair of single or double quotation marks helps to keep the values in the value list together. Review and position the vertical lines that separate the fields. If necessary, scroll to the right to see all of the fields. On the last page of the wizard, you can edit the file name and path for the text file, or just leave it as it is and click Next.

Click Finish. Access exports the data, and displays the status of the export operation on the final page of the wizard. For information on how to save the details of your export into a specification that you can reuse later, see the article Save the details of an import or export operation as a specification.

You can use the ExportWithFormatting action to output the data in the specified Microsoft Access database object a datasheet, form, report, module, or data access page to several output formats. The type of object containing the data to output. You can't output a macro. If you want to output the active object, select its type with this argument, but leave the Object Name argument blank.

This is a required argument. The default is Table. The name of the object containing the data to output. The Object Name box shows all objects in the database of the type selected by the Object Type argument. Most of the time, you must select a name and file location for the exported object. You will also often need to set additional parameters for the export routine.

Just as when you import data, you will also be prompted to save your export routine, if desired. Try the Access Course for Free! Try It Free! Not sure what it's called for Access haven't used it for ages , I'll try to investigate and get back to you. Can you please take a look and see if that works for you?

It's seems to cover all bases very well. DavidZemens: My code was just for standard modules, you are correct. Thank you for your input.

The Access-specific SO question I linked in my previous comment is much more comprehensive and can deal with all kinds of Access modules. Show 4 more comments. The Overflow Blog. Podcast Helping communities build their own LTE networks. Podcast Making Agile work for data science.
