Hi,

I am getting error " 3027: Cannot update. Database or object is read-only." when trying to export table into word document. I am using below code to export

DoCmd.TransferText acExportMerge, , "CGSList", MyDir & "\CGSList.doc"

Am I missing anything on my system or any code problem ?

Thanks in advance
 
Using Access 2000
 
The document you're trying to write to is flagged as read only. That's why it complains.
 
Initially, Document doesn't exists at all. For test run I saved manually one file with save name, still getting same error, whether document exists or not. doesn't matter

Thank you,
 
The only thing I can find is a KB which blames security as the issue - probably a shot in the dark, but you can look at it:

Article ID : 245407 You receive "Can't update. Database or object is read-only" error message when you import or export files in Access 2000
