[AccessD] Transfer text field name

John,

If it was in my control it wouldn't be there.  Unfortunately this file
is imported into another commercial program that uses that field name.
All I am doing is converting the data from one format to another for the
import.  The idea was to use a query and a couple of formating functions
to reformat some data from a file downloaded from the web and format it
for input into the program. This was supposed to be a quick project; I
get burned every time I think that way.

Doug

Personally I would recommend getting rid of the # entirely.

Folks,

I am outputting the results of a query into a comma delimited text file
using the transfer text method. Field names are to be put in the first
row. Some of the query fields use assigned names, e.g., Street
#:[fldStreetNo].  The interesting thing is that the "#" in the field
name shows up in the query when the results are viewed but shows up as a
"." when I look at the text file. I put the symbols in quotes they are
not part of the output.  Any one have a suggestion on how to get
transfer text to put the "#" where it is supposed to be?

Thanks

Doug
