[mso] Re: Troubleshooting Access error- Access 2000

Replying to my own message:

Yes, I checked Microsoft Knowledge Base. It said I needed Microsoft Office
Service Release 1/1a (SR - 1/SR - 1a).

Well, I already have it but the problem still persists.  In another group, I
was advised to download it anyway, and try reinstalling it.  I did. It will
not install, it is detecting that it is already present, and refusing to
reinstall. Kind of caught between a rock and hard place, it feels like.
Knowing this, is there anything else I can try? Microsoft zeroes in on
installing that Service Release, but no go.

Thanks.

Robert

Subject: [mso] Troubleshooting Access error- Access 2000

Hello everyone. I am trying to import a smaller file this time- just 55,000
records.

Is there a way to get Access to reveal which record is causing a problem? I
am getting an error message after I attempt to import that simply says:
Invalid Argument.
[OK]


Clicking "OK" brings this message up under the "Import Text Wizard"
An error occurred trying to import the file 'C:\AllUSA8\File001.TXT' The
file was not imported/
[OK]

There probably is a record in the file it is not sure what to do with, too
many / few commas, or too many / few quotation marks, or some undesired
character.

I am wondering if there is a way to get the record number it had a problem
with, and I will check the original data from that.

Thank you.

Robert
