Access 2000 Controls Wizard Not Working...

[Rob Sorfleet]

Hi all, I am currently trying to learn to use access 2000 to create simple
databases. Unfortunately the Control Wizard has stopped working and I am
unable to get it working again. I have clicked the Control Wizard button on
the tool bar, but when I place a control (button, combo box, etc. etc.) it
does not come up with the wizard screen. It just places the control object
onto the form.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling bu the problem persists.

I am using Windows XP (SP3) and Office 2000.

Hi Rob,

I am using Windows XP (SP3) and Office 2000.

First, make sure you have SP-3 for Office 2000. There are some nasty errors
that you can get in Access, without a fully patched system.

Try the following steps. You possibly have other wizards that are not
functional as well. First, try disabling your antivirus to see if it is
blocking the wizard. If that does not bring any joy, then replace three files
on your hard drive, Acwzmain.mde, Acwzlib.mde and Acwztool.mde, using the
instructions shown in KB 303769. One or more of these files may have become
corrupted. Do this without Access running.

1.) Insert the Microsoft Office or Access compact disc.
2.) By using Windows Explorer, open the Pfiles\Msoffice\Office\1033
folder on your CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive, and locate the
Acwzmain.mde, Acwzlib.mde and Acwztool.mde files.
3.) Select these files, and then click Copy on the Edit menu
4.) Open the folder that you installed Office into. The default folder is
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office. Select the Office\1033 folder,
and then on the Edit menu, click Paste.

If that doesn't fix the problem, try re-registering the Accwiz.dll,
Msado15.dll and DAO360.dll files.
Click on Start > Run. Then enter the commands:

Regsvr32 Accwiz.dll
Regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Common Files\system\ado\Msado15.dll"
Regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DAO\Dao360.dll"

Wizard starts, but “No valid fields can be found†error message may be
related to overly aggressive settings on antivirus software
