No option to import Excel format

[Kevin]

Office 97 Standard and Access 97(separate package)
Installed both using the Change Option/Select All but
cannot get the other formats to install. I followed the
Valupak instructions using both Office setup and Access
setup with no luck. Anyone have suggestions? Why will
it not install the Excel, comma-separate, and other file
formats?

Look for the files msexcl35.dll, msxbse35.dll, mspdox35.dll and mstext35.dll
on your hard drive (they should be in the system folder) and use
regsvr32.exe to reregister them.

Hi Kevin,

This is a common problem. If the import/export wizards don't work at
all, re-register ACCWIZ.DLL

If it's one or more file formats that aren't listed, re-register the
following files
msexcl35.dll (Excel)
msxbse35.dll (dBase)
mspdox35.dll (Paradox)
mstext35.dll (Text, CSV, tab-delimited))
In Access 2000 and later, the filenames contain 40 instead of 35.

To re-register a DLL file,

1) Locate it (usually all these are in the Windows\System32 or
WINNT\System32 folder.

2) Locate the file regsvr32.exe.

3) Drag the DLL file's icon onto the regsvr32.exe icon.

These problems are discussed in the following MS Knowledgebase articles

or for Access 2002
