Can’t Import Text file to Acc97
LockedI installed Office 97 to work on an Access project, however, I am unable to import the data which is in comma delimited text format.
When I get to the “Import Data” wizard, text is not an option, only Access FoxPro, dBase, etc. are available filetypes.
My first step was to run Add/Remove and make sure all file types were checked. That didn’t work.
Next I tried reinstalling from the O97 Autorun/Setup menu. Nada.
Next, I tried uninstalling Office then rebooted. When I reinstalled, I selected “Custom” and checked the “Select All” option. No luck there either.
My final attempt, on my PC, was to again do the above then reboot several times to “clear” the registry of any Office keys, then reinstalled again. Same thing.
In purefrustration, I tried installing Office on my wife’s computer and every feature works like a charm.
Any ideas on what might be causing this anomaly? I thought maybe it was some isolated setting on my PC but I can’t think of what it might be.
TIA
