Hi All_

I need to export data from a table to a Ascii format file called file1.251.
The file name has a "." and no ".txt"
When I use the
DoCmd.TransferText acExportFixed, "Wy Export Specification", "tblFile", "C:\Current\file1.251"
I got err message saying "Cannot update. Object or Database is read-only."
It works when I change file name to file1.txt

Is it possible to use the file name file1.251?
Many thanks.
