Macro for the of export fixed width text files

[Guest]

I'm trying to build a macro to export a fixed width text file from data in a
table. I selected "Transfer Text" as the action then I selected the type as
"Export Fixed Width". I then selected the saved specification for the file
format. When I run the macro I get an error message "Cannot update. Database
object is read only." I chaecked the properties and none are set as "Read
only". I don't know how to write any type of code. I would like to use a
macro for this. Please help. Thanks

Chances are that the path to the target file is too long (too many
characters). Try going to a file with a shorter path.
