Rocky,

 Depends on version, but in the past, corrupt registry entries was usually
the cause (assuming this was working already).

See:
When you import files, export files, or link files in Access 2002 or in
Access 2003, some file types are missing, or you may receive a "Could not
find installable ISAM" error message

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/283881

  This type of problem was the same all the way back through A97 (different
registry keys though).

Jim.

A prospect is getting this error:

VBA run-time error 3170: Could not find installable ISAM

When I do TransferSpreadsheet.  

Does anyone know offhand what the likeliest cause of this is?
