MS Access Forum / Macros / May 2008OutputTo File Naming Convention
I created a macro that runs OutpuTo a txt file. On the exported file, can I automatically rename the file with this naming convention: "mmddyy or (now)" & "query name".txt = 040808Sales.txt Thank you.  SignatureBrig -- Brigham Siton Phone: (631) 780-5001 Fax: (516) 622-3501 Brig, No problem about putting in the date. Just set the Output File argument of the OutputTo action to: ="C:\YourFolder\" & Format(Date(),"mmddyy") & "Sales.txt" However, I know of no way to use a variable name of the query in this way. (Unless you are using Access 2007, in which case it may be possible to use a SetTempVar action to achieve this.)
