My MDA won't work

I am using Access 2003. I have an MDA that has been running successfully on
Access 97 for many many years.
Now, when I convert the MDA to 2003 and install it, Access gives me the
following error:

"Microsoft Office Access can't find the wizard, or the wizard has not been
installed, or there is a syntax error in the Declarations section of a Visual
Basic module."

Now, there is DEFINATLEY no syntax error and the add-in is DEFINATELY
installed.
What could I be doing wrong?

The UsysRegInfo table reads as follows:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Access\Menu Add-Ins\Build
Application

and the library regkey value is Defiantely correct.
ANY assistance would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
 
Un install the wizard.

Load the wizard as a Reference.

Call the entry point from the immediate window, to make sure it works

Unload the reference (close access and restart)

Convert the mda to 2002/2003 format if you have not done so already, and try
again as a wizard

Don't worry about the usysinfo table if you can see that the add-in has been
installed and you haven't changed the entry point.

Hi David,

Thanks, but it was the UsysInfo table.
It was missing the following entry that is new in 2003.
SubKey
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Access\Menu Add-Ins\Build
Application
Version
1
1

Thanks though,
 
??? I'll have to check, but I certainly did not have to
add any new lines to my Add-in to get it to work in
A2003. If those lines are required, I already had them
in the A97 version.
