Why is there no .txt option in the Access/File/Get External Data/.

[Guest]

In Access, I wanted to import data from a .txt file. I go to File/Get
External Data/Imiport. There is no .txt option in the "Files of Type." How
do I get the .txt option to show up in Files of Type?

Reregister the dll file

Start | Run

regsvr32 mstext40.dll

Try re-registering the dll files like this:
Start Run
regsvr32 msexcl35.dll
regsvr32 msxbse35.dll
regsvr32 mspdox35.dll
regsvr32 mstext35.dll

Use 40 instead of 35 for A2K and 2002.

That's MSEXCL35.dll not MSEXC1.dll.
