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, 

    unfortunately I have struggled all day with this. Following the renaming instruction makes the wizard appear and Excel data comes in smoothly through the Wizard. However following problem arises instead:

    i) Access tries installing VBA components when launched, installation fails. New VBA folder is installed in the same directory where the renamed old vba folder resides

    ii) VBA functionality in Excel is disabled. Hence recording new Macros or loading VBA-dependent Excel add-ins fail...

    Hi All,

    I have the same problem. I am running MS Office  Professional Plus 2010 on Windows 7 64bits.

    I've tried all  solutions disclosed in this post:  http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-US;2488177, and renaming VBA folder with no success.

    Before updating to MS Office  Professional Plus 2010, I was runnig MS Office  Professional  2007, then I updated to the trial version of MS Office 2010 downloaded from MS site (removing MSO 2007 )and finally I installed on top of the trial version of MS 2010, MS Office Professional Plus 2010 expecting that the trial would be removed.

    As MS 2010 trial version co-existed in the system with MSO Office Professional Plus 2010, I removed it from the control panel (Adding/removing programs) so now I have only MSO Professional Plus 2010 installed and there is no way to  to import a file in Microsoft Access 2010, allways same error:

    "Microsoft Access can't start this wizard. This feature is not available. To make this feature available, run Setup again, click "Add or remove Features" and change the feature to "Run from My Computer".

    many thanks,

    Jose

    Are there any further developments/solutions? I too have this though a bit different. I am attempting to link to outlook folders/tables. All work with the exception of Calendar. I have tired each and every step discussed in this form to no avail. Any further developments?

    This thread was about the Wozards, if you're only having a problem with linking tothe Calendar perhaps you should start a new thread.

    Gina this is in regards to the wizards as the error message I receive is

    "Microsoft Access cant find the wizard. This wizard has not been installed, or there is an incorrect setting in the windows registry, or wizard has been deleted.

    "

    I have the following wizards in ACCWIZ folder

    ACWZDAT12

    ACWZLIB

    ACWZMAIN

    ACWTOOL

    ACWZUSR12
