I am a software developer, and have ODBC connections which I previously set
up on my Windows installation using MySQL ODBC connector 3.51.12 - these were
tested and found to be working. I have Office 2003 Professional with Service
Pack 2 and all the latest security updates etc. I have tried with Business
Contact Manager and without it.
HOWEVER - recently I ran Microsoft Access 2003 and tried to LINK some more
MySQL tables to an Access project. I got to the first screen, and being
somewhat curious selected the SQL SERVER option, before clicking NEXT.
Instead of proceeding, the wizard disappeared.
Now, whenever I select "FILE/ GET EXTERNAL DATA/ LINK TABLES" and select
"ODBC Databases ()" from the "Files of Type" option, the wizard fails to
load. I've tried changing my Macro security settings, I read the Help
sections about "Sandbox Mode", I've even uninstalled Office, cleaned up the
registry with Norton Systemworks, and reinstalled Office again, but to no
avail - I can't get my ODBC wizard back again. Many of the options in
Tools/Options are as I set them previously - so they options have been
retained through the uninstall/install operation.
Other wizards seem to be okay- it just seems to be the ODBC one that is
missing. Can anyone help me get it back?
