Cannot import text file in Access2K (PC running XP) - urgent

[Bomber]

Hi all,

I am just trying to import some text data into a database. Access2K and the
PC's XP Pro.

When I choose import|text nothing seems to happen. I can close Access, but
it still exists as a process in Task Manager.

Does anyone know what could be causing this ? I have tried on Text Documents
and Excel Spreadsheets with the same result.

cheers,

Adam

Hi Adam,

If the import/export wizards don't work at all, re-register ACCWIZ.DLL

If it's one or more file formats that aren't listed, re-register the
following files
msexcl35.dll (Excel)
msxbse35.dll (dBase)
mspdox35.dll (Paradox)
mstext35.dll (Text, CSV, tab-delimited))

In Access 2000 and later, the filenames contain 40 instead of 35.

To re-register a DLL file,
1) Locate it (usually all these are in the Windows\System32 or
WINNT\System32 folder.
2) Locate the file regsvr32.exe.
3) Drag the DLL file's icon onto the regsvr32.exe icon.
