Can anyone help me. I have not used Access since 2003. I need to modify an export file. I cannot remember the steps to do this. I used Visual Basic to perform the process.

DoCmd.TransferText acExportFixed, "ExprtSpec1", strQname,strFileNames.

For ExprtSpec1 I believed I had to click on an icon on the tool bar for which I defined the fields in ExprtSpec1.
I cannot remember the steps to this. My export queries are ok however when I look at my output I have the same field layout and length as it was in 2003.

Can someone give me the beginning and ending steps to perform this process?

Thanks,
Jaggar
