Is there a way to export a table in Access 2002 to another Access Database with code instead of manually?

Hi Scott
Try to use the macro called 'OutputTo', this should solve your problem.
Let me know if it works.
Cheers,
Hennie

CopyObject Method
See AlsoApplies ToExampleSpecificsThe CopyObject method carries out the CopyObject action in Visual Basic.
expression.CopyObject(DestinationDatabase, NewName, SourceObjectType, SourceObjectName)
expression Required. An expression that returns one of the objects in the Applies To list.
DestinationDatabase Optional Variant. A string expression that's the valid path and file name for the database you want to copy the object into. To select the current database, leave this argument blank. Note: In a Microsoft Access project (.adp) you must leave the destinationdatabase argument blank. If you execute Visual Basic code containing the CopyObject method in a library database and leave this argument blank, Microsoft Access copies the object into the library database.
NewName Optional Variant. A string expression that's the new name for the object you want to copy. To use the same name if you are copying into another database, leave this argument blank.
SourceObjectType Optional AcObjectType.
AcObjectType can be one of these AcObjectType constants.
acDataAccessPage
acDefault default
acDiagram
acForm
acFunction
acMacro
acModule
acQuery
acReport
acServerView
acStoredProcedure
acTable
Note When using the CopyObject method with a data access page, a copy of the HTML file for the data access page is created in the Default database folder and a link to it is created in the destination database.
SourceObjectName Optional Variant. A string expression that's the valid name of an object of the type selected by the sourceobjecttype argument. If you run Visual Basic code containing the CopyObject method in a library database, Microsoft Access looks for the object with this name first in the library database, then in the current database.
Remarks
For more information on how the action and its arguments work, see the action topic.
You must include either the destinationdatabase or newname argument or both for this method.
If you leave the sourceobjecttype and sourceobjectname arguments blank (the default constant, acDefault, is assumed for sourceobjecttype), Microsoft Access copies the object selected in the Database window. To select an object in the Database window, you can use the SelectObject action or SelectObject method with the In Database Window argument set to Yes (True).
If you specify the sourceobjecttype and sourceobjectname arguments but leave either the newname argument or the destinationdatabase argument blank, you must include the newname or destinationdatabase argument's comma. If you leave a trailing argument blank, don't use a comma following the last argument you specify.
Example
The following example uses the CopyObject method to copy the Employees table and give it a new name in the current database:
DoCmd.CopyObject, "Employees Copy", acTable, "Employees"

DoCmd.CopyObject, "C:\Pathto\YourDatabase.mdb", "tblNewTableName", acTable, "tblOldTablename"
Try that.

Thanks mmcdonal, CopyObject did the trick.
