Newbie - Export to Excel Problem

I use Access 2000 and fairly new to VB.   I've set up a
parameter query which the user can enter information to
extract only certain records to export.  Once the query is
run the results can be seen in a continuous form called
frmExport.  I would like to set up a button for the user
to export the results shown in the form to a spreadsheet
in Excel and let the user select where they want to save
the file.  I found some sample code from John Nurick dated
8/28/04 and attempted to use it.  However, I too keep
getting the error code:  "user defined type not defined".  
The code stops at:  Dim dlgD As Office.FileDialog.  Is
there something else I need to add for Access 2000 in
order for the code to work?   Appreciate any help you can
give.

Here's what I have so far:  

Private Sub cmdExport_Click()
   Const FILENAME = "ExportData.xls"
   Const INITIAL_FOLDER = "C:\"
   Dim strFileName As String
   Dim dlgD As Office.FileDialog
   
On Error GoTo Err_cmdExport_Click

   Set dlgD = Application.FileDialog
(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
   With dlgD
       .Title = "Select location to save file"
       .InitialFileName = INITIAL_FOLDER
       .Show
       If .SelectedItems.Count = 0 Then
           MsgBox "User clicked Cancel", vbInformation +
vbOKOnly
           GoTo Exit_cmdExport_Click:
       End If
       strFileName = .SelectedItems(1) & "\" & FILENAME
   End With
   MsgBox "About to save to " & strFileName, _
       vbInformation + vbOKOnly
   DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport,
acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, _
       "ExportData", strFileName, True
       
Exit_cmdExport_Click:
   Set dlgD = Nothing
   Exit Sub
   
Err_cmdExport_Click:
   MsgBox Err.Description
   Resume Exit_cmdExport_Click

End Sub

As far as I can remember the FileDialog object does not exist in Access
2000.

For a solution that works in all versions from at least 97 onwards,
download the code at  http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0002.htm and use
that to invoke the Browse for Folder dialog. (If you want the user to be
able to type a filename too, use the code at
http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0001.htm to get the standard File Save
dialog.)
