First of all, you have been so kind and patient, I just hate to keep
bothering you; I know you are very busy. Ok, I know I am sounding pretty dumb, but I didn't create any files before, I just copied the export specification info, which only listed the info I gave you. I don't know what "tblSaveIMEXColumns" is (sorry). I do need to come up with a way to actually run the process, which it appears you have some code her to do that, but I don't know what to do with it.

Access Query Right Align
in Database Window
(the one with "Objects" down the left side), click on "Queries" in Objects list, then click on "Create query in Design view" in "Show Table" dialog, click on Close. In upper left menu, click on "SQL" delete "SELECT;" paste in one of the queries I typed out for you then click on red exclamation mark to run it then delete everything, paste in other query I typed out for you then click on red exclamation mark to run it You now should have 2 new tables if so, no need to save query "Donna" wrote: First of all, you have been so kind and patient, I just hate to keep bothering you; I know you are very busy. Ok, I know I am sounding pretty dumb, but I didn't create any files before, I just copied the export specification info, which only listed the info I gave you. I don't know what "tblSaveIMEXColumns" is (sorry). I do need to come up with a way to actually run the process, which it appears you have some code her to do that, but I don't know what to do with it. "Gary Walter" wrote: great! want to try something else? do you remember what you named your original export specification (it would be in tblSaveIMEX.SpecName)? you created 2 tables earlier using following queries: SELECT M.Attributes, M.DataType, M.FieldName, M.IndexType, M.SkipColumn, M.SpecID, M.Start, M.Width INTO tblSaveIMEXColumns FROM MSysIMEXColumns AS M ORDER BY M.SpecID, M.Start; SELECT I.DateDelim, I.DateFourDigitYear, I.DateLeadingZeros, I.DateOrder, I.DecimalPoint, I.FieldSeparator, I.FileType, I.SpecID, I.SpecName, I.SpecType, I.StartRow, I.TextDelim, I.TimeDelim INTO tblSaveIMEX FROM MSysImexSpecs AS I; Add a field to "tblSaveIMEXColumns" '"RightAlign" Yes/No, default 0 then change RightAlign to -1 for column(s) wanted right-aligned then, paste following code into your module: '***start code*** Public Function fExportSpec(pPath As String, _ pQryName As String, _ pSpec As String) As Boolean On Error GoTo Err_fExportSpec Dim strPath As String Dim rstQry As DAO.Recordset Dim rstSpec As DAO.Recordset Dim strSQL As String Dim hFile As Long Dim strTextLine As String Dim strFldName As String Dim lngWidth As Long Dim varCurFld As Variant 'test example: 'to save "qryTestExport" 'to file "C:\newxx.txt" 'using Export Specification "testspec" ' 'in Immediate Window, type '?fexportspec("C:\newxxx.txt","qryTestExport","tes tspec") 'NOTE: Code below does not test for valid parameters!
