Question : Help using Function to Get Current User's Desktop: Access 2003 VB

Hello Experts,

I am using the transfertext method to export data into a text file.  I would like to save the file to current user's desktop.

I found this post which seems to be exactly what I'm looking for, but I am having trouble implementing it.

http://www.experts-exchange.com/Microsoft/Development/MS_Access/Access_Coding-Macros/Q_23060854.html

I am exporting the data from an OnClick Event of a form.   However, when I try to use the code from the previous post in the form's module I get an error.

I would like to implement this funtion as follows:
DoCmd.TransferText acExport, acExportDelim, "MyTable", GetSpecialfolder(Desktop) & "\MyExportFile.csv"

I'm obviously new to this.  Can someone give me detailed instructions on where to place the function that retrieves the current user's desktop.

Any standard module should do. It needs to go after Othe Options statements at the top.
It works here ok
