I am trying to create an export file in .CSV format via a query. After I've named the file and clicked the "Finish" button, I get this message from the Export Text Wizard: "Invalid argument". When I click "OK" I get this unhelpful explana- tion: "Anerror occurred trying to export data from table 'Customer_Query'. The data was not exported." The export file, of course, is not created.
Can anyone provide information on what is going on here?

i would have the query be a 'make-table' query then export the data.

I have had similar problems and it always ended up being problems with date formats.

A quick Trouble shooting step would be to try a sample export without using dates in any fields. If your export works then you know that the date formats are causing your problem and proceed accordingly.

Good Luck.
