Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 242218

SYMPTOMS
When you try to start any of the Microsoft Access wizards, the wizard does
not start. You may see either the busy mouse pointer or nothing, and then
the focus returns to Access as if you had not tried to start the wizard.
RESOLUTION
Use one of the following three methods to resolve this problem.
NOTE: Because there are several versions of Microsoft Windows, the
following steps may be different on your computer. If they are, see your
product documentation to complete these steps.
Use a Windows Installer Shortcut
Make sure that you use a Windows Installer shortcut to start Access. The
Windows Installer shortcuts are automatically placed on the Start menu when
you install Office. You can also add Windows Installer shortcuts to the
Office Shortcut Bar.
Right-click the Office Shortcut Bar. On the shortcut menu, click Customize.
Click the Buttons tab.
In the Show these Files as Buttons list, click to select the Microsoft
Access check box.
Click OK.
For additional information about Windows Installer shortcuts, see the "More
Information" section later in this article.
Missing Acwzmain.mde or Acwztool.mde
Check to see if you are missing either the Acwzmain.mde file or the
Acwztool.mde file or both. To do so, follow these steps:
On the Start menu, point to Find, and then click Files or Folders.
In the Named box, type acwzmain.mde, acwztool.mde.
In the Look In list, click Local hard drive(s).
Click to select the Include Subfolders check box, and then click Find Now.
If this search does not find one or both of these files, follow these steps
to replace the missing file or files:
Insert the Microsoft Office or Access compact disc.
By using Windows Explorer, open the Pfiles\Msoffice\Office\1033 folder on
your CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive, and locate the Acwzmain.mde and/or
Acwztool.mde files.
Select the missing file, and then click Copy on the Edit menu
Open the folder that you installed Office into. The default folder is
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office. Select the Office\1033 folder, and then
on the Edit menu, click Paste.
NOTE: If both files were missing, repeat steps 2 through 4 for the second
file.
Start Access.
Try to start one of the wizards. You may see a message that this feature is
not installed. The wizards are then installed and should work correctly.
Uninstall and Reinstall Small Business Tools
NOTE: This method may not permanently correct the problem. You may need to
repeat these steps each time that the problem occurs.
On the Start menu, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
Double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon.
Click Microsoft Office 2000 Disc 2, and then click Add/Remove.
Click Add or Remove Features.
Click the icon next to Microsoft Small Business Tools, and then click Not
Available. Click Update Now.
Click Microsoft Office 2000 Disc 2, and then click Add/Remove.
Click Add or Remove Features.
Click the icon next to Microsoft Small Business Tools, and then click Run
from My Computer. Click Update Now.
Please let me know has this helped You...
Thank you...
