Installation error Access add-ins

[Robin]

Hi,

I'm using Excel 2000 within MS Office 2000 Small Business
(OS Windows 2000). I have an extremely simple Excel
worksheet for which I'd like to run an Access report. I
had to install the AccessLinks add-in, which I did using
the Add/Remove command on the Control Panel. Everything
appeared to go OK - all the Access options showed up under
the Data menu in Excel. I realized that before I could
create the Access report, I had to go to the Excel Tools
menu and install the add-ins. However when I tried to
install them (using the MS Office Small Business CD) I got
the following errors:

"An error occurred and this feature is no longer
functioning properly. Would you like to repair this
feature now?"

I chose Yes, then got the following: "Internal Error 2709
{EEE40698-20C7-11D2-A185-000A0C90AB50F}."

When I OK'd out of that, the following message
appeared: "MS Excel cannot install the necessary files due
to Windows installer error 1603. Fatal error during
installation."

Is there any way to resolve this problem? Thanks!

Robin

Perhaps download directly from Microsoft web site. Be sure that you qui
Excel *before* you expand the .exe file
