Prompt for file location Export to Excel

[Proko]

I am currently using the following line of code to export the results of a
query to an Excel spreadsheet.
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel7,
"qry_dataoutput", "c:\temp\test.xls"

Is it possible for the user to be able to select where the xls file will be
written rather than the file always going to the same destination.

Thanks in advance.
Proko

Take a look at http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0001.htm for how to invoke
the standard Windows FIle Save dialog.

See this article. It shows how to do this for importing; changing it for
exporting will be easy for you.

Thanx a lot
