Question : Can I pass a text box variable into an Access Macro

Can I take a varible created by a text box from a form and input it into the TransferSpreadsheet file location in a Macro.  Can I do that in VB is it cannot be done within the macro itself.

Example:  Form Input:.  User puts a file name in a text box. (this is the file he is nameing for a report).  The text box is call fname.
Macro Test: TransferSpreadsheet:
                    Export
                    Excel 2003
                    Table name: RPT
                    File: C:\Reports\Forms!Input!fname  (Is this part possible)
Thanks

Sure, but you will need to write a VBA macro. This is the syntax for the actual call:

DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, 3, "myTable","C:\Reports\Forms\Input\" & strFileName, True, "A1:G12"
