Access 2003 Importing missing File types

Guest

I cant import Excel or even TXT files.

I have tried everything to resolve this issue when
Importing to Access 2003 and missing most File types.

Currently when selecting GET EXTERNAL DATA / IMPORT
only files of Type: MS Office Access, Sharepoint
Services, XML and ODBC (many options are missing - this
is true for the Link option too)

Missing are File types like: excel, txt, csv etc.

Have updated and detected and repaired Office 2003
several times.

Please help as this is a very important function.

Thanks

It seems that you didn't use the personalised instalation.
Do that and choose all the filters you want.

I have tried typical and custom installation. Selected
all options for Office 2003 (run from computer) and
nowhere was there an option for importing/converting file
types.
In all office documenation and help fiels it is
automatically availble to import CSV, TXT etc.

Unfortunatly not in my case. Just did a complete install
and it still isnt allowing me to import these files.

Your help is very much appreciated.
