I have created a table in access and for backup; I have to extract it in text file. V can do this by direct export command available or creating specification but I need something different.

I created table named ? table1? with data fields ?Id?, ?Name ?, ?Age ?, ? Occupation ?. Then I created a form named ? form1? and introduced a button named ? save ?.
Now I will enter data values to table and view it in form. As I press save button, it should create a text file in C: or drive separating data fields with ? | ? symbol.
[
Sample text output should be as follows:

| Id | Name | Age | Occupation |

01 | Ram | 22 | student |
.
.
.
.

]
Note: there is shortcut method export. Pls do not prefer that method.
Pls follow the following method:
- go to properties of button created in form
- go to on singleClick property
- go to code mode( or select any of the three options available according to ur requirement)
- create module

The following is code that I downloaded from internet. Pls refer to this code also if it can help u:

Thanking you,

This code works in VB, you should be able to adapt it to Access VBA
Notes: Exportpath is a variable that holds the drive, folder and file name.
(C:\ExportFolder\ExportFile.txt)
GetADORSP is a funtion that passes back the recordset, you just need to great a recordset how ever your program is doing it.
