I'm trying to import an Excel spreadsheet, which I've done
in the past. But now, it isn't an option in the File type
drop down when using [Get External Data / Import] feature.

Actually most of the 'normal' file types are missing. I
can only select a MS Access file type or an ODBC. No
other options appear.

When I 'force' the issue by typing in the spreadsheet name
in the filename box (e.g. myfile.xls), I get an error that
says "The ADP file is not in the correct format for a
Microsoft Access Project".

I've tried comma delimited files too, but that no longer
works either, with a simular error message.

Any ideas?

Thanks
