Hi there,

I have a query that I need to export to a fixed format text file, but when I
try to do it, I either get an error message that says my data is not
updateable or nothing happens at all. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

John,

I just opened my query, then went to File, Export, then tried to save my
query as a .txt file. I need a fixed format text file. Thought it would be
simple. But instead, either nothing happens (no wizard) or I get an error
saying my recordset is not updateable. Thanks.

Janet,

The next step is to re-register ACCWIZ.DLL. Problems with this can stop
the export wizard appearing at all. While you're at it, also re-register
mstext40.dll.

One way to re-register a DLL:

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.

If that doesn't fix it, please post back with more information:

1) The exact error message and error number you are getting.

2) Do you get this problem exporting any query or just this particular
one? Do you get the problem exporting from the Northwind sample
database?

3) What versions and service packs of Windows and Office are you using?
