Well it seems my worries were unfounded. They've already called, AND updated everything to the "latest". I say "latest" because, of course, an extremely large enterprise such as the one I am in takes eons to "test and re-approve" everything M$ puts out. Thanks to everyone for your comments. Mark P.S. As an aside, it turns out my experience is not all that uncommon. What I didn't realize was that I was dealing with the outside contractor that actually accomplished the PC refresh, not our internal IT department. Unfortunately, it is not as common to receive that level of professionalism from our internal IT department...which is, ironically, also a subcontractor (they were spun off a few years ago). -----Original Message----- From: Charlotte Foust [mailto:cfoust at infostatsystems.com] Sent: Monday, June 14, 2004 11:40 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: RE: [AccessD] URGENT! A2K2 - File Import Options Office service packs and Jet service packs are separate. Everything through XP should work with MDAC 2.7, but it's always a good idea to keep your Jet updated, although running different versions on different machines will definitely bite you.

A2K2 - File Import Options Thanks for the suggestions guys. So, if and when they get here, what other updates should I ask them to install? I located a page here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;EN-US;acc2002 ...but I'm somewhat confused as to what exactly is contained in "Microsoft Office XP Service Pack 3". Is that all I need, or do I need other files such as "Microsoft Jet 4.0 Service Pack 8" and "Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2.8"? Am I missing anything?

A2K2 - File Import Options While a Jet update may (or may not) address this, try running Linked Table Manager - if you get prompted for the install CD, tell them you need a FULL not Default install of Office (go for it all) or at least a full install of Access.

(Newport News) Sent: Monday, June 14, 2004 9:44 AM To: [AccessD] Subject: [AccessD] URGENT! A2K2 - File Import Options Importance: High I received a computer "refresh" from the IT folks last week. I expect further problems, but, for now, I just realized that I am unable to import ANY file formats other than Access, XML, and ODBC. I need to address this ASAP to our "Help Desk". Can anyone tell me EXACTLY what I need to say to get ALL the file-type import options installed? I've always found it better when dealing with these people to NOT leave it up to them to discover a solution if I can help it. Thank you very much for any specifics...
