Run Time Error 3027 Database Read only message

[jslick76]

Can anyone look at my code and tell me what's wrong?
It all works fine until the last step which is docmd.transfertext exporting a
variable table name
At the end when i try to export my file, i get a run time error 3027 message.
FileNamePart is a function that just extracts 'filename' out of C:\temp\
filename.txt
thanks!

Sub e()


'Set Variables
Dim strSQL As String
Dim strFileName As String
Dim strFileName2 As String

'Don't display a bunch of messages
DoCmd.SetWarnings False


'prompt for a filename to import
strFileName2 = GetFile("txt:*.txt", "z:\mail\output", "Import your
XXXXXall.txt file")


'import that file
DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, "All Import Specification",
FileNamePart(strFileName2), strFileName2, False

'Add an autonumber
DoCmd.RunSQL "ALTER Table " & (FileNamePart(strFileName2)) & " ADD
Column ID counter"


'Update SEQ field15
strSQL = "UPDATE " & FileNamePart(strFileName2) & " SET " &
FileNamePart(strFileName2) & ".field15 = id & ' / ' & field15"
DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL

'Update brk, ctn, pkg, opt_endrs to NULL
strSQL = "UPDATE " & FileNamePart(strFileName2) & " SET " &
FileNamePart(strFileName2) & ".field1 = NULL"
DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL

strSQL = "UPDATE " & FileNamePart(strFileName2) & " SET " &
FileNamePart(strFileName2) & ".field2 = NULL"
DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL

strSQL = "UPDATE " & FileNamePart(strFileName2) & " SET " &
FileNamePart(strFileName2) & ".field3 = NULL"
DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL

strSQL = "UPDATE " & FileNamePart(strFileName2) & " SET " &
FileNamePart(strFileName2) & ".field4 = NULL"
DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL

'Get Filename

strFileName = GetFile("txt:*.txt", "Z:\mail\output\")


'Export (not working runtime error 3027 cannot update, read only)

DoCmd.TransferText acExportDelim, "Testy", FileNamePart(strFileName2),
strFileName, False

End Sub

Hi,
perhaps text file is still locked with DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim
try to import so other, fake, file before you do export, so your file will
be released

Thank you, you're a genius. That was the problem.
