[AccessD] TransferSpreasheet Problem

Dear List:

In the line:

    DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, strSQL,
strFrontEndPath & "ExportedAuditTrail", True


strSQL = "Select * FROM tblAuditTrail" where tblAuditTrail is a linked
table.

I get an error message The Microsoft Jet Database engine could not find the
object 'Select * FROM tblAuditTrail'.  

Can you not use a SQL statement as the query for export?

I can't put this into a query because the user can filter on several fields
so I build those filters into the SQL statement using
WHERE...AND...AND...etc.
