I'm using Access 2003 and need to define an export specification file,
however, during the export the Wizard doesn't come up. Thanks.
 
I should mention that the export does work, the result being a fixed length
ASCII file (the default?), and no errors occur. Thanks again.
 
Hi Doug,

Most problems with the import/export wizard can be fixed by
re-registering the relevant DLLs:

If the import/export wizards don't work at all, or if you get "No object
in this control" re-register ACCWIZ.DLL.

If it's one or more file formats that aren't listed, re-register the
following files
msexcl40.dll (Excel)
msxbse40.dll (dBase)
mspdox40.dll (Paradox)
mstext40.dll (Text, CSV, tab-delimited))
In Access 97, the filenames contain 35 instead of 40.

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.

Otherwise, please give more details of what happens when "the Wizard
doesn't come up" but the data is exported to a fixed-width file,
including your versions and services packs of WIndows and Office.
 
Hi John,
All is Ok, I can see the Export Wizard, my brain cramp.

I again revisited the export and realized I was selecting:
Save As File Type: Microsoft Word Merge (*.txt) instead of
properly: Text Files (*.txt). Your prompting helped immensely.
Thank you.
