Import options missing

I have always been able to import data from a csv file by
using 'Get external data'. However, I tried today, but
the option to import from text/csv has disappeared (along
with others). I've tried removing and reinstalling Office
2002, but the problem is still there.

Any suggestions?

Hi Julia,

This is usually a problem with registration of some 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.

These problems are discussed in the following MS Knowledgebase articles
among others:

or for Access 2002
