While this is an old post I did manage to get this figured out. Here is my code.

my $filename = 'C:/GBowl/strawberry32/Scripts/ccname.txt';
my $db_file = 'C:/GBowl/strawberry32/Scripts/Hello.accdb';

my $dbh = DBI->connect(
   'dbi:ADO:Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source='.$db_file,
  ) or die $DBI::errstr;
  print $filelog "Connected to ms-access database\n";  

#prepare and execute SQL statement
$Export = $dbh->prepare(
    'SELECT Company_Code, Name INTO [Text;HDR=No;DATABASE=C:\GBowl\str
+awberry32\Scripts].[Plants.txt] 
    FROM Plants ORDER BY Company_Code');
$Export->execute ||
    die "Could not execute SQL statement ... maybe invalid?";

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


good chemistry is complicated, and a little bit messy -LW
