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?

    Yes I tried that too.  

    I just removed Access 2010, then went into registry and deleted all (most?) references to Access.  Reinstalled and it now works... so far.  I dont know for sure which one it was, but there was an entry with wizard items.  Maybe thats the only one needed to delete?

    Stetter,

    I know you have it working now but a question...  Do you recall if perhaps you installed an update or a new program prior to the wizards issue?

    Well, I did do an upgrade to Office 2010.  I work for GE and it is a test group so far.  It removed Access 2010 during the install.  I reinstalled Access, but honestly, I don't think I tried the wizard since then.  Maybe that had something to do with it?

    Not sure that has to with it, just rying to gather as much information as possible as the more information it might give a clue as to what is happening... but what version did you have before?

    Hi All,

    Just wanted to follow up on this thread to let everyone know that we resolved a similar issue today by renaming the VBA7 folder under "C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\VBA" and repairing Office 2010.

    There was another instance where a customer was running a beta version of Access 2010 and once he uninstalled and reinstalled the released version (any version lower than 14.0.4760.1000 is beta), the error went away.

    Hope this helps!

    Kathy
