File (pathway) Contains No Data
Access 2000 on XP Home Edition
I have run into a first-time situation where the Link Text Wizard will not access a legitimate text file. Instead of opening the wizard, it pops up a notification that "File X:\Company\order.txt does not contain data". I've tested a brand new database test copy with tab delimited as well as comma delimited text files, both of which produce the same error type message that declare no data. This problem is occuring on my client's machine which I access through PCAnywhere. When I bring the text files to my PC which also has XP Home Edition with Office 2003, the Link Table Wizard works fine with the same file. On the client machine, Excel files link just fine. It seems to be only text files. |

The first thing to try is to re-register the relevant DLL:
If the import/export wizards don't work at all, re-register ACCWIZ.DLL If it's one or more file formats that aren't listed, re-register the following files msexcl40.dll (Excel) msxbse40.dll (dBase) mspdox40.dll (Paradox) mstext40.dll (Text, CSV, tab-delimited)) In Access 97, the filenames contain 35 instead of 40. To re-register a DLL file, 1) Locate it (usually all these are in the Windows\System32 or WINNT\System32 folder. 2) Locate the file regsvr32.exe. 3) Drag the DLL file's icon onto the regsvr32.exe icon.
