I have a table I'm trying to export, but instead of exporting it, Access (2k) is
giving me an "Invalid argument" error message. But it doesn't tell me "what" it
thinks is an invalid argument. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Tom

It would be helpful if you posted the code so we could have a chance at it.

What code? VBA code? Don't have any. I went into the db, opened the table in
question and tried to run:

File | Export

I chose filetype 'Text File', then the Export Text Wizard opened. I then chose
to click on 'Next' until the last window, then I clicked on 'Finish'. That's
when I got the error msg.
