Database Documenter

[Marilyn Myers]

I was using the Database Documenter this a.m. When I tried using it later, I
received the following message:
"The wizard you've requested is not installed or is in a bad state.
Please install or reinstall the wizard." What does this mean and what am I
supposed to do?
Thanks in advance for any help someone can give me.

Documenter still doesn't work. Any other suggestions???
Thanks
Marilyn

Marilyn,

I am going to Ass-U-Me you also tried to Repair the installation. It sounds
like the wizard somehow became corrupt. I would find the wizard file,
rename and then reinstall. If you are unsure of the name of the wizard,
post back with what version of Access you are using and I will tell you the
name of the wizard.

Yes, I did the repair. I am using Access 2007.

I think its ACWZDAT12.ACCDU. All the wizards are located in C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Office 2007\Office12\ACCWIZ, path might be slightly
different depending on if you choose a custom path to load the program. I
would rename it then do the repair.

That didn't work either. I do appreciate your help.
Thanks,

Di you try to remove some of those other wizards. I cannot information on
the exact name of the wizard for the documentor. I was hoping it was that
one because research on the other ones made me THINK that was the correct
one.

I removed the one wizard.....nothing. I then Removed the Access 2007 program
from my computer and then reinstalled it. The Documenter still doesn't work.

[Gina Whipp]

Pulling hair out...

Do the other wizards work?

[Marilyn Myers]

Yes, I do. I'm on a network printer and two of us share the printer. My
connection is wireless.

 

[Gina Whipp]

Have you tried defaulting to a local printer and seeing if you get the same
results?

I have "lost" my entire database. Not only does the Documenter not work, I
cannot access my database. Is there a possiblity of a hard drive problem or
could my CD have a problem? I removed the Access 2007 program from my
computer and reinstalled it. I originally had three databases that I worked
with...The one I "lost", a different company database, and Northwinds Sample
database. Is there a website for Microsoft that I can download Access instead
of using my CD I purchased?
Thanks again for all your help.
Marilyn

 

[Gina Whipp]

Can you get to anything else? I do not THINK it is the CD BUT it could be a
network issue or harddrive issue but still strange it was only the
Documentor that was misbehaving! I have searched the net, Microsoft and
newsgroups and can find nothing even close to this issue but not giving
up... I may be bald but not giving up!

Also, where did you purchase the CD? If it was a store, such as Office Max,
or it came preloaded, then I would say for SURE nothing wrong with the CD.

In the beginning, it was only a documenter problem on all three databases,
but now I can access the two databases, but the main database that I use
every day... I cannot access at all. I have a backup from 12/12/08 that I
can access, but that is it. All the changes to my second database is there,
and I can still access Northwind, but not my main database.....it has totally
vanished or is in that big black hole. I purchased my program at Staples.
Could something happen when I deleted the ACCWIZ.....the other day? By the
way, I only have one good nerve left and ACCESS is getting on it.
Thanks
Marilyn

 

[Gina Whipp]

Knowing that you got your CD at Staples means I am SURE it is not the CD.

Nothing should have happened because you Reinstalled/Repaired your
installation so it would put those wizards back. I want to say corruption
but it seems to rare that it would effect all THREE databases at the same
time.

Let's try a decompile, this is always my second to last resort... If you
are unsure how to decompile, please see:
http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/decompile.htm about half way down the page.
Do NOT forget to make a back-up!

[Gina Whipp]

Another thought... have you actually printed any reports? I know you said
you can open them but can you print them?

[Marilyn Myers]

Yes, I can print reports from my backup main database and the other two
databases. I am also confused on how to decompile. I printed out the
instructions, but being "NEW"..... I don't have a clue what they are talking
about.
