ACC2000: "Microsoft Access Can't Find the Wizard..." Error Message After You Apply the Access 2000 and SQL Server 2000 Readiness Update

This article was previously published under Q288300
Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.

This article applies only to a Microsoft Access database (.mdb).

SYMPTOMS

After you install the Access 2000 and SQL Server 2000 Readiness Update and try to run the Upsizing Wizard, the Linked Table Manager, or the Add-in Manager, you receive the following error message:
Microsoft Access can't find the wizard, or there is a syntax error in the Declarations section of a Visual Basic module.

CAUSE

You may experience this problem if you run the Upsizing Wizard to Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 before you install the Access 2000 and SQL Server 2000 Readiness Update.

RESOLUTION

To correct this problem, remove the Acwztool.mde file, and then run Repair. This not only replaces the file, but also replaces it with the updated version of the wizard. At this point, the wizard runs and can upsize to Microsoft SQL Server 2000. To run Repair, follow these steps:
  1. Browse to the folder that contains Acwztool.mde, and then delete that file. By default, Acwztool.mde is located in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\1033 folder for English versions of Microsoft Office 2000.
  2. Quit all programs.
  3. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
  4. In Control Panel, double-click Add/Remove Programs.
  5. Double-click the Office 2000 entry listed in the Add/Remove Programs dialog box.
  6. Click Repair Office.
  7. Click either Reinstall Office or Repair errors in my Office installation, and then click Finish.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.

I just put Access 2000 on my computer. I am trying to use the database wizard, but the SQL Server wizard keeps popping up and asking for the server name and password etc. I have a stand along computer and don't need SQL. What can I do to turn this off and get on with developing a database?
