Cannot Import Text File

C

Cline

I am trying to import a text file but unable to due to the following error:

"Micorsoft Office Access can't find the wizard. This wizard has not been
installed, or there is an incorect setting in the Windows Registry, or this
wizard has been disabled"

Note: This is occuring on all txt files but the open fine in Notepad so I
don't think it's an issue with the .txt files. Also, note there is nothing
disabled in the help menu.

Is there an update out there that I need? I've repaired MSO via the
Add/Remove option in Control Panel but nothing seems to work.

Thanks.

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

If it's one or more file formats that aren't listed, re-register the
following files
msexcl40.dll (Excel)
msxbse40.dll (dBase)
mspdox40.dll (Paradox)
mstext40.dll (Text, CSV, tab-delimited))
In Access 97, the filenames contain 35 instead of 40.

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.
