Table Wizard not showing Sample Tables & Sample Fields

I have a user using MS Access 2002 that whenever they try to "Create table
by using wizard" the areas under Sample Tables and Sample Fields are all
blank.

I checked my computer also using Access 2002 and the Table Wizard has tables
and fields to choose from as expected.

I have tried searching Microsoft's site and also Google searched but have
not found anything to help solve the problem or at least point me in the
right direction.
I already tried copying the following files from my good computer to the
user's bad computer:
ACWZMAIN.MDE
ACWZDAT.MDT
ACWZLIB.MDE
ACWZTOOL.MDE
ACWZUSR.MDT
UTILITY.MDA
This still did not fix the problem of the missing Sample Tables and Fields.
Anyone know how to fix this? From what source does Access retrieve the list
of these items, from a file, from the registry, ???

Hi Mike,

Are any of the wizards working on your friend's PC? For example, if you go into form design, can
you use the combo box wizard? Does your friend's PC have small business tools installed? There
is a known compatibility problem with that.

See http://support.microsoft.com/?id=303769

Try registering the Accwiz.dll and/or DAO360.dll file(s). Use the directions in steps 4 & 5 of
the article shown above to re-register these .DLL files. That being said, I do not recommend
ever using the table wizard! Your best bet is to get out a clean sheet of paper and use a pencil
with a good erasure. It's a lot easier to change a design on paper versus trying to implement it
on the fly.

The user I am helping out is limited in her database/computer skills. She
just uses the mailing list attributes when using the Table Wizard for some
mailing thing she does.
I have already replaced the files I mentioned with good ones so perhaps by
doing some reregistering that might do the trick.
I think I will try the following steps before giving up and just
reinstalling Access. I will do this next week since the user wasn't
available today.

1. regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DAO\DAO360.DLL"
2. regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Common Files\system\ado\MSADO15.DLL"
3. regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\ACCWIZ.DLL"
4. Reinstall latest MDAC files.
5. Add/Remove Programs and Repair Access.
6. If none of these work then just reinstall Access.

Hi Mike,

Please let us know how it goes.

I don't think that items 2 & 4 in your list (re-registering MSADO15.DLL and/or installing the
latest MDAC files) will have any bearing on the functionality of the wizards, but it's worth a
try. Also try out any other wizard on this person's PC, such as the combo box wizard. That will
help to clarify whether the problem affects all wizards or is somehow localized to only the table
wizard.
