TransferText

[Thedon123]

I am working on an already created database. it has a transferTEXT FUNCTION.

iN THE SPECIFICATION THERE ARE 3 DIFFERENT TYPES OF SPECIFICATION CREATED BY THE PREVIOUS PERSON WHO USED THIS DATABASE.

WHERE WOULD I FIND THESE SPECIFICATIONS.

To go to the specifications, first select a table and select Export, use the drop-down to select Text as the format, and then click the Save button, the export wizard will show up.

Then, at the bottom left (A2K), you should see a button labeled "Advanced." If you click that button, it will open up the area where Import/Export Specifications are created/saved. You should see a button on the right that says "Specs."

I don't know why, but exporting just exports the file without pulling up the wizard. Only importing gets the wizard up for me so I can see these specifications! Any idea why? Is there any setting anywhere?

This may not help, but give it a try anyway. I've actually run into something like this before and somehow the SetWarnings got set to False and honked up stuff like this.

Try creating a new module with this sub in it.

Sub ResetSetWarnings()

Docmd.SetWarnings True

Exit Sub

And then just run it from the module. You can save it if you want, just in case, but after running it you can delete it if you wish.

Then go try the export again and see if the stuff comes up.
