To work around this behavior, create a SQL statement similar to the SQL statement that is created in the following example:

1. Open the sample database Northwind.mdb.
2. In the Database window, click the Employees table, and on the Insert menu, click Query.
3. In the New Query dialog box, click OK.
4. On the View menu, click SQL View.
5. Type or paste the following SQL statement:
   SELECT * INTO [Text;FMT=Delimted;HDR=Yes;DATABASE=C:\;].[Employees#txt] FROM Employees WHERE [EmployeeID] = [Enter an EmployeeID];
6. Save the query as Query1.
7. On the Query menu, click Run. Type a valid EmployeeID, and then click Yes in the dialog box that asks if you want to create a new table.
   
   Note that a text file named "Employees.txt" is created on drive C, and that it contains only the data for the EmployeeID that you entered in the parameter box.

Steps to Reproduce the Behavior

2. In the Database window, click the Employees table, and then on the Insert menu, click Query.
