Importing Text File Option is Gone

[Jeff]

I've got Access 97 installed on a machine with XP Home
and when I try to export a text file that option is
gone. Only databases available. Suggestions?

Try re-registering the dll files like this:
Start Run
regsvr32 msexcl35.dll
regsvr32 msxbse35.dll
regsvr32 mspdox35.dll
regsvr32 mstext35.dll

Use 40 instead of 35 for A2K and 2002.

That's MSEXCL35.dll not MSEXC1.dll.

Thanks Joe,

That did it.

That little trick has worked 100% of the time for many years now!
Glad to see it hasn't failed yet!
