Access 2003

Several weeks ago my computer was attempting to install a "CRITICAL" update
from Microsoft and everything died. I was not able to reboot. I had to
re-install Windows which means I lost a LOT of stuff.

Now I cannot run ANY wizards in Access.

How do I get that capability back?

Help?

Hi TCT,

Don't you just love it when a MS update hoses your system. Been there myself
on more than one occasion..... said:

What happens when you try? Are you getting an error message? If so, what is
the exact text of the error message?

Try the following steps.
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"

Note the quotes around the paths indicated above, in the 2nd and 3rd examples.
