I recently upgraded from Access 97 to Access 2000 on my
laptop. My laptop runs under Windows ME and at the time
of the upgrade had about 4 gigs of free hard drive space.
I did not upgrade the other Office 97 components (Excel,
Word, or Powerpoint). I did purchase and use a valid,
official, authorized, unopened, unused version of Access
2000. The Access 97 version that was present was also a
single user, authorized version.
Most of the Access 2000 upgrade installed without incident
and for the limited use I have put the program through it
seems to be working correctly. However, near the end of
the installation process I received the following error
message:
"Error 1918. Error installing ODBC driver: Microsoft Text
Driver (*.txt, *.csv), ODBC Error 13: Could not load the
setup or translator library. Verify that the file
Microsoft Text Driver (*.txt, *.csv) exists and that you
can access it." The same message was repeated for Access
driver (*.mdb), dbase (*.dbf), Excel (*.xls), and Paradox.
When I downloaded the latest update to Access 2000 (i.e.,
9.0.6926 SP-3) from Microsoft's web site, it went through
the same series of error messages during the installation
process of the update.
I have been able to import comma delimited files and dbase
(dbf) files and have exported Excel files since the
upgrade. Though I haven't extensively checked the
import/export files, they appear to be alright.
1. Can someone tell what the error messages refer to?
2. Does this problem need to be corrected?
3. If it does, what do I need to do to fix it?
Thank you for your assistance.
