RE: Permissions causing error on export?



The Access security permissions might limit a user if they con't have
permissions on the query. I assume they can run the query fine within Access?

You might also check the Windows permissions the person has on the
destination.

Trying to code a very simple DoCmd.TransferText on a query. I get the error
"External Table in Unexpected Format". In searching Microsoft, I found a
reference to this error regarding Direct Mail Manager and problems with
passwords and protected documents.

Do MDW security settings affect VBA programming in using export/import
methods? I do know that the user experiencing this error has limitations in
her security settings.

Thanks for your help.
