Unable to import txt, csv, xls or anything else

[amackay11]

When attempting to do a simple import of any type of file (.txt,.xls,.dbf etc.) I receive a quick message box that states "Type Mismatch". When I click "OK" it takes me to a pseudo import specification wizard that has a form name of 'mx_FrmMain:Form'.

The wizard is blank and when you click NEXT you get the message:

'The expression you entered refers to an object that is closed or doesn't exist.'

Running MS-Office for XP with FP extensions. I have re-installed Office, registered every ms*40.dll i could find and registered DAO36.dll. Removed the AC*.MDE files. No change.

Thanks

Holy c**p this works! I could have sworn I tried registering dao360.dll but .... maybe the re-install and then registering the dll did it? Anyways it is working now. Thanks a million !!!!
