Default Creating a custom text export file (inc. header & footer) from a q

I have an address query which ouputs a single field to text strings for
Google Earth .kml file format parameters.

The problem is that the .kml file requires a header and footer text to be
inserted. Does anyone know how I can pre-insert the Header and Footer into a
standard text file, and then save it with a ‘.kml’ extension, for example
‘Addresses.kml’

This is the Header:

?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?
kml xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.0"
Document
nameAddress List/name
Folder
nameLocations/name
open1/open

Output Field: [kml Address]

This is the Footer:

/Folder
/Document
/kml

Search for this text in this group: "Export to File.Dat"
You will find the helpful answer I got from Ken Snell on renaming your
exported text file.

There are many ways of skinning this cat. I'd probably do something like
this (air code):

Dim rsR As DAO.Recordset
Dim strLine As String
Dim lngFN As Long

'Create empty text file
lngFN = FreeFile()
Open "D:\Folder\Addresses.kml" For Output As #lngFN

'Output header
'NB: need to double quotes in literal strings
Print #lngFN, "?xml version="1.0" encoding=""UTF-8""?"
Print #lngFN, "kml xmlns=""http://earth.google.com/kml/2.0"""
'...

'Output address
Set rsR = CurrentDB.Open("My Query")
Print #lngFN, rsR.Fields("kml Address")
Close rsR

'Output footer
Print #lngFN blah blah

Close #lngFN

John,

thanks for your reply. I must confess it seems a little 'hardcore' for a
novice such as me. Can you walk me through the broad points of the syntax
used?

John,

I have 'filled in' your code to thus far:

Private Sub Test_Click()
Dim rsR As DAO.Recordset
Dim strLine As String
Dim lngFN As Long

'Create empty text file
lngFN = FreeFile()
Open "D:\Folder\Addresses.kml" For Output As #lngFN

'Output header
'NB: need to double quotes in literal strings
Print #lngFN, "?xml version="; 1#; " encoding=""UTF-8""?"
Print #lngFN, "kml xmlns=""http://earth.google.com/kml/2.0"""
'...

'Output address
Set rsR = CurrentDb.Open("Generate KML")
Print #lngFN, rsR.Fields("KML_Address")
Close rsR

'Output footer
Print #lngFN blah blah

Close #lngFN

End Sub


But I am stuck on the Header and Footer:

What do I call them?; just header.txt footer.txt. do i put the full path in?

D:\folder\header.txt

and how do i get them to insert into the 'Addresses.kml' file?

Default Creating a custom text export file (inc. header & footer) from

John,

Just ignore the previous two posts from me.

This is how far i have got in adapting your code

Private Sub Test_Click()
Dim rsR As DAO.Recordset
Dim strLine As String
Dim lngFN As Long

'Create empty text file
lngFN = FreeFile()
Open "W:\Folder\Addresses.kml" For Output As #lngFN

'Output header
'NB: need to double quotes in literal strings
Print #lngFN, "?xml version="; 1#; " encoding=""UTF-8""?"
Print #lngFN, "kml xmlns=""http://earth.google.com/kml/2.0"""
Print #lngFN, "Document"
Print #lngFN, "nameAddress List/name"
Print #lngFN, "Folder"
Print #lngFN, "nameLocations/name"
Print #lngFN, "open1/open"
'...

'Output address
Set rsR = CurrentDb.Open("Generate_KML")
Print #lngFN, rsR.Fields("KML_Address")
Close rsR

'Output footer
Print #lngFN, "/Folder"
Print #lngFN, "/Document"
Print #lngFN, "/kml"
'...

Close #lngFN

End Sub


But i get an error message: 'Method or Data Member not found' on the word
'Open' in the following line:

Set rsR = CurrentDb.Open("Generate_KML")

It suggests that something is mispelled or wrong reference, so I was worried
that the query it was calling was two seperate words, so I changed it to one
whole_word. But it still reports the same error message.

Can you help me with this?

not

Default Creating a custom text export file (inc. header & footer) from

Douglas/John,

that did the trick...

but I have a secondary problem (that i think is of my making...). The .kml
file only contains the first address in the query, and I think it's because
of my badly worded sentence 'I have an address query which ouputs a single
field to text strings for
Google Earth .kml file format parameters.' in my opening post. What I really
meant was it is a single field (among other fields in the query), but that it
contains multiple records/data.

eg:

Main St, London, W1
South St, London, W2
East St, London, SE1

Is it possible to get the routine to print All the data for that field to
the kml file?

'Create empty text file
lngFN = FreeFile()
Open "D:\Folder\Addresses.kml" For Output As #lngFN

'Output header

I have an address query which ouputs a single field to text strings
for
Google Earth .kml file format parameters.

The problem is that the .kml file requires a header and footer text
to be
inserted. Does anyone know how I can pre-insert the Header and Footer
into a
standard text file, and then save it with a '.kml' extension, for
example
'Addresses.kml'

This is the Header:

?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?
kml xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.0"
Document
nameAddress List/name
Folder
nameLocations/name
open1/open

Output Field: [kml Address]

This is the Footer:

/Folder
/Document
/kml
