export teble to text keeping number format

[Yossi evenzur]

Hi i export a table with 8 decimal places to text files and the export
reduces it to only 2 decimal digits. exporting with keeping the format is
limited due to the number of lines that can be copied to the clipboard.

Don't export the table itself. Export a query based on that table, and
format the field with the Format function. On my website
(www.rogersaccesslibrary.com), is a small Access database sample called
"ExportFormattedFixed.MDB" which illustrates how to do this. Look at the
query "qryExportFormatted" for details on formatting different formats.

Create a query and use the Format function to force the number of decimals
that you want to see. Then export the query.
