reinstall of office now cannot import Excel tables

[John]

I recently reinstalled office 97 and now have lost the
ability to import excel tables into ACCESS. i have
installed both sp1 & sp2, and have installed the database
drivers in the add/remove program utility. but when i go
to import a table the drop down box does not include EXCEL
as an option nor does it include CSV as on option.
Does anyone have any ideas.

thanks
john

Look for the file msexcl35.dll on your hard drive (it should be in your
System or System32 folder) and use regsvr32.exe to reregister is. While
you're at it, you may want to do the same for msxbse35.dll, mspdox35.dll and
mstext35.dll

If you're missing the ability to import Excel, look for the file
msexcl35.dll on your hard drive (it should be in your System or System32
folder), and use regsvr32.exe to reregister it.
