Forms in Access 2003

N

Nati

I am using Access 2003. For whatever reason, I cannot save forms created by
the Wizard . After I select that option not only it is not automatically
saved in forms, when I manually save it, it still does not save as a form.
And it ask me when I want to close the window, if I want to Save Form 1, and
then when I choose Yes, It ask me again and again.
Please help!

I think you should do a repair of your office install. appearently the
necessary dll is corrupted.

Choose repair from the help menuoption.

Hi Nati,

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
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=833220 <---Error in loading DLL

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,
Msado15.dll and DAO360.dll files. Click on Start > Run. Then enter the
commands:

Regsvr32 Accwiz.dll
Regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Common Files\system\ado\Msado15.dll"
Regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DAO\Dao360.dll"

Notes:
Make sure to include the quotes, as indicated above, for paths that include
spaces.

To find Accwiz.dll in Win. XP Professional, I had to make sure to place a
check on Advanced Options in the search dialog, with Search system folders
and Search Subfolders checked.

Hallo TOm,
Thanks for your help!

I tried to re-registering the Accwiz.dll, but it tells me File not found,
but if I search for it I could found it, the other 2 , I could successfully
register.
I removed totally the Office 2003, and installed it again, but its the same.

Thanks for Helping me

Hallo,
Yes I copied the files too, I have this problem in all the DB that I create,
and when I take My db to another computer; it works and I can save the Form.
I read in a forum that just formatting the computer and installing new
windows can solve this problem, but I prefer not to do it now.

Hi Nati,

Okay, so to recap, you have done the following steps so far:

1.) Re-registered three files: Accwiz.dll, Msado15.dll, and Dao360.dll. In
each case, you received a message indicating success and

2.) You have replaced copies of three files: Acwzmain.mde, Acwzlib.mde and
Acwztool.mde and

3.) You've verified that the problem is repeatable in other databases on
your PC and

4.) You have no problem using the wizard to create a new form in your
database, if you do it on a different PC.

Are all of the above statements correct?
If your answer is yes, then I'm afraid I may be running out of suggestions,
but here's a few more for you to try:

a.) Schedule a Chkdsk operation on your C:\ drive. There is a small
possibility that some parts of one or more files necessary for the normal
operation of your PC are written to now defective sectors, and are
unreadable. You will most likely receive a message that this check will be
performed the next time you reboot. Go ahead and reboot to initiate the
process, but you might want to have something else to do while this is
working, as it can often times take a fair amount of time to complete (like
15~30 minutes, possibly more).

b.) Clear out your temporary folders. Here is a document that I prepared
several years ago for the Windows 2000 Operating system. The steps are
similar for Windows XP:

Taking Out The Trash

c.) Perform a disk defragmentation operation after removing all the
temporary file gunk.

d.) Ensure that you have the latest version of MDAC installed

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...e3-c795-4b7d-b037-185d0506396c&DisplayLang=en

e.) Download the MDAC (Microsoft Data Access Components) Checker Utility and
perform a check to ensure that all files that make up your MDAC stack are
okay:

Component Checker: Diagnose problems and reconfigure MDAC installations
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307255

I read in a forum that just formatting the computer and installing new
windows can solve this problem, but I prefer not to do it now.

The shotgun method of computer troubleshooting is, in my opinion, the method
of last resort. But, if you run out of options, you may have no choice (other
than foregoing the wizards for now).

Hi Nati,

Interesting. Thank You for providing the follow-up on this issue.
I *think* that you can get Microsoft to replace a defective installation CD,
as long as you can show that you have a license for the software.
