ms query wont run

Ms query not working. Have installed it many times.
reinstalled the sp's THis version is excel 2000 sp 2(or
is it 3?) and winxp pro with the sp's. i install it and
it continues to return the ms not installed or not
enought memory error. ( i have 512 k) nothing alse
running/clean boot. reinstalled using the control panel
AND reinstalled using the "add-ins" in excel. It WILL
update a spreadsheet data file that has been created on
another computer, so i think all the connectionsare
there. (there is no odbc in winxp pro control panle
though)

Any ideas?

Did you resolve this problem at all? I have a similar problem where Excel
says i need to install Query but it is already installed. I un-install it
and re-install and all looks fine but when I try to run Query it says it
needs to be installed. Excel 2000 and Windows 2000 SP4

Did you find a solution to your problem with MS Query? I am having the same difficulty & cannot find an answer yet! May be you can help?

I have Excel 2000 SP3 & Windows XP Home

When I go to Data | Get External Data | Run Saved Query I can imort data from an Access database into an Excel worksheet. Wheh I go to Data | Get External Data | New Database Query after a delay a message appears to tell me that MS Query is not installed. MSQRY32.EXE is in the Office folder & I have reinstalled it by renaming it to .old & running the Add/Remove facility in the Office installer to no avail.

I have searched the MSKB & found an article at:

http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...kb;en-us;179686

that refers to this problem but in Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh Edition. Nevertheless I have tried the resolutions from the article again to no avail. When trying to start MS Query by double-clicking MSQRY32.EXE apart from the display blinking MS Query does not open. Task Manager both in applications & processes does not show that it is running.

I am hoping you can assist me!
