Does Access 2003 support OutputTo -MS-DOS format? When I converted my Access
2000 to 2003 - MS-DOS format option is no longer available. Is there a way
to get it to work?
 
There is no "MS-DOS" format.
There is .txt and other file types.
Is that what you mean?

If you can't see the choice in your dropdown
try re-registering the dll files like this:

Start Run
regsvr32 msexcl35.dll
regsvr32 msxbse35.dll
regsvr32 mspdox35.dll
regsvr32 mstext35.dll

Use 40 instead of 35 for A2K and 2002.

That's MSEXCL35.dll not MSEXC1.dll.
 
Joe, I'm not sure that those are the relevant files for
report export? Those are Jet IISAMs aren't they?

The report exporters were subroutines in Utility.MDA
(written in Access Basic) that parsed an open report,
calculated how many characters of each field were
visible, and wrote the characters to a file.

That's why they make mistakes about the number of
visible characters.

The text export utility "SOA_RptToAscii" used to be
called "MS-DOS Text (*.txt)". It means that lines are
terminated by CRLF. I'm not sure when the name of the
option was changed.

David,
It wasn't clear to me what was being asked. So I took a stab at answering
it.

Your information is interesting and may be more in line of what the poster
is looking for.
