Access error 2281

I am using the OutputTo Method to create a Snapfile. My code works fine when
I run it for testing under Access 2003. However, when I crete an MDE file
for distribution and run the MDE under Access runtime on the same computer, I
get the following error mesage:
Error #:2281 - The formats that enable you to output data as a Microsoft
Excel, rich-text-format, MSDOS text, or HTMS file are missing or incorrectly
registered in the Windows Registry.

Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. I've searched the web for
this error, but can find nothing.

Thanks in advance for your time and help.
