Access 2000: Problems with Chart Wizard

[Guest]

I have a quite simple report: It contains data from two fileds of the same
table: expenditure type and expenditure amount (summarized per type).

I am using chart wizard to include a chart in this report.
In the first pop-up screen I am asked to select the table / query which my
chart should be based on, but no tables nor queries are available.

Whenever I click on any part of the pop-up screen it launches a error
message: "You use a method of the DoCmd to carry out an action in Visual
Basic and then click cancel in the dialogue box", what obviously is not what
I am doing.

It doesn't matter if I try to create the chart in the detail or in the page
footer, or in the report footer; it always fails.

Thanks a lot in advance

It sounds to me like the file that contains the chart wizard functionality is
hosed. Based on this KB article ( http://support.microsoft.com/?id=208307 ),
the file appears to be acwztool.mde. Try the following steps. You possibly
have other wizards that are not functional as well.

Replace three files on your hard drive, Acwzmain.mde, Acwzlib.mde and
Acwztool.mde, using the instructions shown in KB 303769. One or more of these
files may have become corrupted. Do this without Access running.

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

1.) Insert the Microsoft Office or Access compact disc.

2.) By using Windows Explorer, open the Pfiles\Msoffice\Office\1033 folder
on your CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive, and locate the Acwzmain.mde, Acwzlib.mde and
Acwztool.mde files.

3.) Select these files, and then click Copy on the Edit menu

4.) Open the folder that you installed Office into. The default folder is
C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Office. Select the Office\1033 folder, and then on the Edit
menu, click Paste.

If that doesn't fix the problem, try re-registering the Accwiz.dll and
DAO360.dll files. Use the directions in steps 4 & 5 to re-register these
..DLL files.
