I used Non Standard File Extension and in Access 2000 to 2003, I had to
change the registry setting to allow Access to important such files. Without
the registry change, it will only allow standard extension such as .txt, etc.

What do I do for Access 2007 ???? (if anything??).


Thank You,

Gary
 
If you register an extension (such as .prn) with Windows as a text file, you
should be able to export/import that type in any version of Access. it's the
unregistered file types it barfs over.

Another possibility is to export the file as a registered type (such as txt
or csv), and then Name the file to something else afterwards.
 
I am using unregistered file types. In Access 2000 to 2003, I can make
Access accept this by changing the registry seting per MS KB Article #Q245407

Will this work for Access 2007 or what do I need to do.


Thank You!!!

Gary

P.S. My users do not use to change the extension because we use it to
indicate the year the data was collected from.
