User is unable to import external data into MS Access - gets error "ActiveX component unable to open object." I have reinstalled Office with full install and reloaded mdat files with no success. Does anyone have an answer on how to correct this situation?

If you are still tackling this problem, perhaps you should consider calling your local super-hero.

It sounds like you have some miss matched Dlls. Uninstall office and then scandisk the drive and then reisntall. also when you re-install make sure you don't have any other programs open, since they will lock some files so they can't be updated correctly.

hope this helps.
