Hello,
I need access to the table specification file for automation of an link
table. Does anyone know how to call out for the specification file using the
DoCmd.Transfertext method.
Thank you
Tim
 
The specification file is the 2nd parameter of the TransferText action.
Yes?

DoCmd.TransferText ([TransferType], [SpecificationName], [TableName],
[FileName], [HasFieldNames], [HTMLTableName], [CodePage])

I need to know how to obtain visibility of this specification file. I have
created my own specification file by first linking the table manually and
constructing how I want the table to be formatted. Using the
DoCmd.Transfertext method I can now call out to the specification file. But
what if for future development I need to modify this spec file. How can I do
this readily? To do that I need to be have visibility to this file.

It's not really a file, its stored somewhere in the
database. You can see its settings and or modify them the
same way you created it - by manually going through File -
Export.
 
Thanks, that is what I thought but hoped there was a work around. This is
annoying.
