Prema

Text Import Wizard
 
When one particular user tries to open a text file with ; delimited fields it
just opens it rather than opening Import Wizard. All other users can open it
and import wizard initiates automatically. What do I have to do to get the
one user also to be able to initiate import wizard?

Thank you for any help that can be offered

If my memory is correct, when you install Office, you're given the choice of
installing various import features. I wonder if the one user's machine
doesn't have this installed.

Is there a way of checking this?

I'm telling you this from memory, so it might be slightly inaccurate, but
just a little: Pop in the Office install disk. I use Office 2000, and when I
do that, the initial install screen pops up and gives me the option of
installing options. When you see the list of programs (Word, Excel, etc),
click Excel's plus sign and look for the heading which contains import
wizards. If I recall, they were called "filters".

There's probably a way to check all this without the install disk, but I'm
not aware of it.
