Error during Import of data

Can anyone please help me? I've reloaded Access 2002 and
now am getting an obscure error message that I wasn't
getting before whenever I run the Import function to bring
in comma-delimited data. Here's the message:

"Microsoft Access has encountered a problem and needs to
close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

And that's it. It was working before I reloaded Access.
It seems to happen regardless of the file I import - so I
think it has something to do with how I recently installed
Access. Don't know.

Thanks!
 
Hi Randy,

Your error isn't quite the usual on when importing but it won't hurt to
try re-registering the import/export DLLs:

If the import/export wizards don't work at all, re-register ACCWIZ.DLL

If it's one or more file formats that aren't listed, re-register the
following files
msexcl35.dll (Excel)
msxbse35.dll (dBase)
mspdox35.dll (Paradox)
mstext35.dll (Text, CSV, tab-delimited))
In Access 2000 and later, the filenames contain 40 instead of 35.

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.
