Can anyone tell me what i need to do on this machine in order to get it to run access97 queries properly.<br><br>Have reloaded access 3 times now but no joy.<br>All other machines in office run access97 no probs,but i dont want to wipe this machine.<br>PLEASE HELP!!!!!<br><br><br><br><br>The DLL for an installable ISAM file couldn't be found. This file is required for linking external tables (other than ODBC or Microsoft Jet database tables). The locations for all ISAM drivers are maintained in the Windows Registry. These entries are created automatically when you install your application. If you change the location of these drivers, you need to correct your application Setup program to reflect this change and make the correct entries in the Registry.<br><br>Possible causes:<br><br><br>· An entry in the Registry isn't valid. For example, this error occurs if you're using a Paradox external database, and the Paradox entry points to a nonexistent directory or driver. Exit the application, correct the Windows Registry, and try the operation again.<br>· One of the entries in the Registry points to a network drive and that network isn't connected. Make sure the network is available, and then try the operation again.<br><br>

I'm not certain whether this is a question or a useful tip.(looking back it is posted as a ? so)...the 1st thing I'd do is look at the other machines running Access97...make sure what files are where...then copy whatever you find there looking like ISAM. Then I'd copy that into the target machine, putting it where it was on the others.&nbsp;&nbsp;Then I'd run scandisk, reboot and try again.<br>'Course that may not work, either...it's just what I'd do!( : &gt;[ )
