Yes I agree I like that method. However it is an Excel method of the Range
object so you would have to automate Excel using a ADO or DAO recordset.
However that will still overrun the excel 2003 worksheet so one would have
to automate Excel 2007+, which Bob says he does not have ....

Writing from Access to a text file was, I believe, Bob's only option... as
has already been suggested.

I have had problems with tab separated text files, but obviously they have
a fan in Stuart.
