You apparently had some custom code files to do what you needed and it
appears that they got hosed when you reinstalled Office. I would think
that...if you don't have more details about the needed files so that you
could find them and put them back where they belong, then you'll have to
either contact the original developer who created the process for you for
help or hire an outside consultant to put things back together for you.
There MAY be a way to help further if you had more info...but because we now
have no idea what you had working before, what it did for you, what type of
files they were or any other relevant info...this is like saying...my car
won't run, how do I fix it...when you know nothing about auto mechanics!
It's a little hard for an auto mechanic (those of us who MIGHT be able to
help with info) to tell you where to even start without you knowing more
about the process.
If you don't, then I would say passing the files to someone who does
understand this stuff is probably your best/time efficient bet.
Good luck!

Subject: [mso] AccessXP --> ExcelXP -> *.asp --> confusion
A task I do every day involves opening a Web page containing a table of data
and turning the data into an *.asp page.
Before my system crashed a couple of weeks ago, I did this through this
procedure:
a) block and copy the Web table, including column headings, to an Excel
worksheet
b) import the *.xls file to AccessXP, which used a wizard so I could change
a heading, etc.
c) use ASP to produce the desired Web page
However, since my system crashed and the OS (Win2kPro) and all programs had
to be reinstalled, step b) has changed.
Now I can click to File/Get external data/Import, locate the file to be
imported and double-click it. I then get a list of worksheets in the file.
When I double-click the one I want, the table is instantly created. The
column headings are now F1, F2, etc., and the original (and Excel) column
headings are now record 1. In other words, the wizard has disappeared and
the column headings are considered to be a record.
How can I get back to the old (better) way of producing the Access table?
[In what may be an unrelated change, when I do b), the default file type has
become not *.mdb, which it used to be, but Registry error (*.*). Does this
signify?]
