I upgraded my computer from windows 98 2nd edition to microsoft office XP
professional edition. Then, I uninstall MS office 97 and reinstall it to fix
some issue regarding accessing to my MS Access 97 database. After the
installation, I cannot run a query to import an external database. The error
message is "Couldn't find SAM".

Please suggest some help. And I am not sure this is a right place to submit
this question.

Thanks,

Thank you for your quick response. However, I did try the solution which has
been suggested in the link. It didn't work.

Fortunately, I found another link in Microsoft to down load Microsoft Office
Value Pack. After excecuting the file for Data Access, my problem has been
cured this morning.

Thank you very much,
david c.
 
I'm glad you got it working although it sounds like you did do what the
article suggests, which is to make sure that you have the latest data access
components (these are included in the value pack).
