[AccessD] Save as Text

Saving tables is the one exception to this method instead use the
DAP pages method, it is a carryover from the original Access 97 method
where it was really undocumented as opposed to just MS undocumented.
I got the original hint from Larry Lawson.

 'This saves all tables, references, relationships,
      ' DAP's and command menus to one file.

      SaveAsText acDataAccessPage, "", strPath & "dbAllTablesText.txt"

      'Save only once to one file so exit.
      '  the constant acDataAccessPage doesn't exist in Access 97
      ' so use the magic number 6

Also you may not want to save temp Queries so

    If  dbs.QueryDefs(i).Name, 1)  <> "~" Then
         'remove temp queries from selection


'using acTable = 0   with SaveAsText 'Tables won't work in 2003 or 97
   ' you will get saveastext 2487 error.
