Getting the error: Microsoft Access can't find the wizard. etc...

Occurs when: Using the Import from Excel feature

I have checked the Add/Remove Features and Access is completely installed, not sure what is missing?

    Hi Gina,

    Yup, you are correct. :)  I was just thinking that maybe somehow the folder didn't get correctly trusted.

    @Linden - please let us know the answers to the questions Gina and I have posed so we can continue to try to assist you in getting your wizards working.

    Thanks,

    Kathy

    Kathy,

    I thought the wizards are in a Trusted Location by default, is that not true?

    In addition to the things that Gina has mentioned, ensure that your wizard folder is in a trusted location:

    1. Go to the Trust Center by Clicking on File ->Access Options->Trust Center->Trust Center Settings->Go to Trusted Locations
    2. If the path “C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\ACCWIZ” is not listed under the User Locations, add it as follows:
    3. Click Add New Location->Browse->Go to the folder “C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\ACCWIZ”.
    4. Close out of the Trust Center, exit Microsoft Access and then reopen it. Do your wizards now work?

    Linden,

    I have not heard back... were you able to import a file?  Also, does this behavior happen on newly created databases?  And lastly, what Build is your Access?

    PPBear,

    Have you renamed the wizard folder and then reinstalled?
