property not found when importing a text file into Access

[Guest]

I cannot import a tect file into my access database. The alert from the
Improt text Wizard says "property not found". What could be the cause of
this?

What versions (and service packs) of Access and Windows are you using?

Do you have this problem importing any text file, or some text files, or
just one?

Does it happen in all databases, or just this one.

Are you using an import specification or schema.ini?

Are you importing to an existing table or a new one?

I'm having a similar problem:

I recently upgraded my database workstation from Windows 2000 Pro to Windows
XP Pro. After the upgrade, Access 2003 could not find the import wizard when
I tried to import tables from .txt and .xls files.

I deleted Office 2003 via Add/Remove Programs and reinstalled it three
times. Access still couldn't find the wizard.

I installed Access 2003 on another machine as a temporary test and it found
the import wizard immediately.

It thus appears that something is corrupted on my database workstation -
something that the uninstall/reinstall is not fixing. Is there a KB article
or a registry fix that'll help?

If the import/export wizards don't work at all, or if you get "No object
in this control" re-register ACCWIZ.DLL.

If it's one or more file formats that aren't listed, re-register the
following files
msexcl40.dll (Excel)
msxbse40.dll (dBase)
mspdox40.dll (Paradox)
mstext40.dll (Text, CSV, tab-delimited))
In Access 97, the filenames contain 35 instead of 40.

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.
