How can I make MS ACCESS to allow import of EXCEL and TEXT file TYPES to an existing database?.
These two options don't seem to appear on file TYPE import listing anymore.
Urgen!!!

Go back to Add Remove progams and choose Office 97. Select to Add or Modify and look at the choices for Access. A typical installation will not include all of the Advanced Wizards or converters. You want the selection box to be clear with a checkmark, not dull with a check to make sure that everything is installed.

I'd say it partially helped me.
But I figured out the problem in the end. The data drivers for both text and excel were corrupt which were removed manually.
The system was removed from my PC and reinstalled using custom installation option. and it worked.

Thanks anyway.
