Access Wizards not working

[Connie]

About a week ago as I was attempting to use one of the
wizards in AccessXP, it did not function for me. I have
since discovered that none work.

I first repaired OfficeXP, then unistalled and
reinstalled using the custom install. I made sure all
wizards etc were selected.

I also have 2003 installed on a seperate drive on the
same computer. Not sure if this is interfering. Wizards
don't work there either.

Can anyone tell me why suddenly my wizards would disable,
and how do I enable them.

Thanks, Connie

Hi Connie,

Try replacing three files on your hard drive, Acwzmain.mde, Acwzlib.mde and Acwztool.mde, using
the following instructions. One or more of these files may have become corrupted (see
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=303769 ). Do this without Access running.

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, my next guess is an improperly registered Accwiz.dll and/or
DAO360.dll file(s). Use the directions in steps 4 & 5 to re-register these .DLL files.

You're welcome! Can I assume that your wizards are now happy (and working properly)?
