ACC: Microsoft Access Wizards Button Unavailable (1.x/2.0)

• Microsoft Access versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.0

SYMPTOMS

Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.

In Microsoft Access version 1.x, the Form Wizards or Report Wizards button is disabled and not available.

In Microsoft Access version 2.0, you receive the following error message:

   Cannot Find Wizard or Error in Wizard code. Check the [Libraries]
   section of your MSACC20.INI file.

CAUSE

One cause for this behavior is that no table or query object exists in the Database window. You can correct this by creating a table.

Another cause for this behavior is that the MSACCESS.INI file (or the MSACC20.INI file in Microsoft Access version 2.0) is missing information in its [Libraries] section.

RESOLUTION

To check the .INI file, do the following:

In Microsoft Access version 1.x:

1. Open the MSACCESS.INI file any a text editor, such as Notepad.

2. Find the [Libraries] section.

3. Verify that the following entry appears:

         [Libraries]
         wizard.mda = ro
