Question : Exporting a table

Hi experts !
I currently export 2 tables to another database that I create on the fly. Now, how do I export certain columns only ? (not all colunms) of both tables ??? Here is my code (I'm using Access 2000) :
============================================================================
Set db = CreateDatabase(filename, dbLangGeneral, dbVersion40)
db.Close
DoCmd.TransferDatabase acExport, "Microsoft Access", filename, acTable, "SALES_PRICES_LINES-CAN", "SALES_PRICE_LINES"
DoCmd.TransferDatabase acExport, "Microsoft Access", filename, acTable, "SALES_PRICES-CAN", "SALES_PRICES"
============================================================================
Thanks

Answer : Exporting a table

Hi all

Last I remember, any punctuation in an object name other than an underscore requires square brackets when you refer to it in VBA or SQL, which explains why SALES_PRICES_LINES works by itself, but SALES_PRICES_LINES-CAN does not.

You'll find in pretty much every Access Naming Convention white paper to avoid punctuation.

Here's one of the better ones...
