Re: DLookup Challenge

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

The OutputFile parameter of the OutputTo method requires a full path as a
string value, either as a full string path or a string variable represented
by the string path.

The thought was that if the full path was pulled from a table field, that it
to needed to be in the string format required by the parameter, preceded and
ended with a quote, "<some full path>"

Since that appears to no longer hold true, I guess in the future, I will
drop the quotes when using the DLookup function in the manner I used.

I can't think of any reason why you'd ever want to include preceding and

It apparently is necessary to not include preceding and trailing quotes in
the table field when using the DLookup function.
