Access cannot find Excel file type to import or link

I am using Access XP on a Toshiba Tablet 3500. When I try
to link/import an Excel file, the only file types shown in
the "type of file" window are Access fiels and ODBC. Why is
that?
How to make all "linkable"/"importable" file types
available? Thanks.

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.

BTW - this ALWAYS works!
