Output to file

[Guest]

When I try to run a macro to output a report in snapshot format to a file I
get an error message "The report snapshot was not created because you don't
have enough free disk space for temporary work files."
I have more than enough disk space.
If I manually point to the output file it works fine.
Any ideas??

Hi,

My name is Amy Vargo. Thank you for using the Microsoft Access Newsgroups.
Check to make sure that you have full permissions to the location you are
exporting to. If it is a share on the network, make sure you have access
to it.

You may receive one of the errors that is mentioned in the "Symptoms"
section if any one of the following is true of the <OutputFile> argument of
the OutputTo action or method:


- You did not specify a file name. -or-

- The file name that you supplied contains an invalid character
(!@#$%^&*():. -or-

- The path that you specify does not exist.


To work around this problem, do the following:


- Modify the <OutputFile> argument of the OutputTo action or method to
include a file name.

- Make sure that the file name does not include any invalid characters.

- Make sure that you are using the correct path.

Amy,
thank you for the quick professional response. i had a file name problem. i
tried not using a file name so a person could name the file what they wanted.
i did not realize that this would create the error message shown.
thanks again for your help.
