problem with 'export' window

[Tom]

I'm not sure this is the correct group. If not, please tell me which is. Thx.

Earlier this afternoon I exported the results of a query into an Excel 2000
spreadsheet (58 rows). All was fine.

Then I was building a query (make table) where I wanted to send the data to the
'data' .mdb. I got an error/warning that the .mdb I was looking for was not in
the path of Access's "Default Database Folder". Instead, it was trying to find
my data mdb two directories lower (where I had exported the spreadsheet to,
earlier).

I tried exporting several small tables and queries, but when the 'Export' window
comes up, I can't use the "up" arrow, "create new folder" button, etc. There's
*NO* reaction whatsoever. I can cancel with no problem.

Am I missing something? Did I do something wrong? Or...whatever?

Thanks in advance,

Tom

Hi Tom,

Does the problem persist after rebooting the computer?

 

[Tom]

Nope. So it isn't a *big* problem. More like a PITA. And if *I* did
something to cause it, I'd like to know what it was...so I don't do it
again.

I'd be inclined to put it down to "one of those things", maybe to do
with Windows or Windows Explorer rather than Office.
