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.
