[AccessD] Cannot import from Excel

I don't have A2003 in front of me...but I know that some versions in the 
past did not load all file types...depending on your type of install.  I 
know in A97...when you bring up the dialouge to import...there is a message 
at the bottom that tells you "you can run setup to add other file types".

I know the company I work for did not have TEXT files as choices with their 
installs...and I had them run setup to choose all file types.

Good luck,

Mark A. Matte
