I currently have a user with Windows XP on his PC who
tries to import a comma-delimited text file into his
Access database. Now, during the regular import process on
PC with Windows 2000, as you click through each column,
the field name for each field changes depending on the
column you are clicking on. However, in this special case
the field name always shows the name of the first column.
It does not change as you go from column to column. This
same behavior happens either under Access 97 or Access
2003. I suspect this has something to do with the XP
operating system. Any ideas or insights would be
appreciated.
 
Known bug in A2003.
My guess is that once A2003 was installed it "corrupted" the import wizard
for earlier versions.
Or it overwrote it and all versions use the same one.
Mayhave been fixed in SP1.
Try that first.
If not, then uninstall/re-install.
 
I have experienced that same thing on certain occasions with my Office XP,
and sometimes it works fine.... must be a bug somewhere!? =P
