Hi David,
If there's no "Text Files (.txt, .csv...) item in the dropdown, see
below. If you do have the Text Files item but want to add subtypes to
the list, AFAIK you can't (though it would be possible to write VBA code
to perform the export and and call it from custom menu commands or
buttons.
For a missing import/export file format, re-register the appropriate
files
msexcl35.dll (Excel)
msxbse35.dll (dBase)
mspdox35.dll (Paradox)
mstext35.dll (Text, CSV, tab-delimited))
In Access 2000 and later, the filenames contain 40 instead of 35.
To re-register a DLL file,
1) Locate it (usually all these are in the Windows\System32 or
WINNT\System32 folder.
2) Locate the file regsvr32.exe.
3) Drag the DLL file's icon onto the regsvr32.exe icon.
These problems are discussed in the following MS Knowledgebase articles
among others:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=292269
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=155666

or for Access 2002

When exporting - where can I add "Text (Tab Delimited)
(*txt)" in the save as type dropdown?
The same with "CSV (Comma delimited)(*.CSV"
Thanks for your help.
