Installing query wizard

Been using Access 97 for some time now both in a volunteer job and at home
and have had little trouble in getting things to function. After recently
reformatting my hard drive in upgraded the operating system to Windows XP,
Home Edition. I reinstalled Office 97 and everything functioned normally
until I tried to run a duplicate query and received a mesage that the feature
was not installed. I followed the message to add query wizard and reran
setup. There is no query wizard to add. I reinstalled all components but
still get the error message. I performed duplicate querys all the time with
the Windows 98 operating system.
Has anyone had this experience and resolved it?

Hi Jim,

I have not had this problem, but here is what I think I know:

1) can you find the mde files?

search your hard drive for

Wzmain80.mde, Wztool80.mde

(in 97, Wzmain80.mde, Wztool80.mde and Wzlib80.mde)
(in 200x, Acwzmain.mde, Acwztool.mde and Acwzlib.mde.)

one method: if you find them, rename files
(like change extension to ".old"),
then rerun Office 97 install.
another method: find them on your install CD
and copy them to hard drive
where you found them.
Try to run wizard and see if
process now installs them properly.

2) maybe a dll is not properly registered

Run one XP file-search dialog for regsvr32.exe

Run a separate search dialog for accwiz.dll

drag and drop accwiz.dll from one search dialog
onto regsvr32.exe in other search dialog.

3) do you have read permission on \Winnt\System32?

4) are your References okay?

Alt+F11 to go into Visual Basic Editor
under Tools menu, click References
any show up as "Missing"?

well...you might start there.

Good luck,

Gary Walter
