Table Wizard not showing Sample Tables & Sample Fields
I have a user using MS Access 2002 that whenever they try to "Create table by using wizard" the areas under Sample Tables and Sample Fields are all blank.
I checked my computer also using Access 2002 and the Table Wizard has tables and fields to choose from as expected. I have tried searching Microsoft's site and also Google searched but have not found anything to help solve the problem or at least point me in the right direction. I already tried copying the following files from my good computer to the user's bad computer: ACWZMAIN.MDE ACWZDAT.MDT ACWZLIB.MDE ACWZTOOL.MDE ACWZUSR.MDT UTILITY.MDA This still did not fix the problem of the missing Sample Tables and Fields. Anyone know how to fix this? From what source does Access retrieve the list of these items, from a file, from the registry, ??? -- Message posted via http://www.accessmonster.com |

I think this uses a combination files including ACWZDAT.MDT and
ACWZMAIN.MDE. The "access" to these is through entries in the registry. Have you tried a reinstall/update to include the additional wizards? I find it just as easy to create my own. There are so many "mis-features" available in table/field properties that I would rather build from scratch. I use strict naming conventions in all tables that would require editing everything created by the wizard. -- Duane Hookom MS Access MVP -- "Mike W via AccessMonster.com" wrote in message news:53810e78062949bab4f0f497c461a58e@AccessMonste r.com...

The user I am helping out is limited in her database/computer skills. She
just uses the mailing list attributes when using the Table Wizard for some mailing thing she does. I have already replaced the files I mentioned with good ones so perhaps by doing some reregistering that might do the trick. I think I will try the following steps before giving up and just reinstalling Access. I will do this next week since the user wasn't available today. 1. regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DAO\DAO360.DLL" 2. regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Common Files\system\ado\MSADO15.DLL" 3. regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\ACCWIZ.DLL" 4. Reinstall latest MDAC files. 5. Add/Remove Programs and Repair Access. 6. If none of these work then just reinstall Access. "Duane Hookom" wrote in message ...
