SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Access, if you import data by using an indexed sequential access method (ISAM) driver, you may receive the following error message:

ActiveX component cannot create object

You may receive this error message regardless of the data type being imported.



CAUSE
This issue can occur for either of the following reasons:
 * The ISAM driver is not registered properly.

-or-
 * The Access wizards are corrupted.



Method 1
This method uses the Regsvr32.exe utility to manually register the ISAM drivers. Regsvr32.exe is a program that is used to register dynamic-link libraries (DLLs) and ActiveX controls in the Microsoft Windows registries. This file is usually located in the following folders:   Operating System         Location --  Windows NT, 2000         \Winnt\System32 Windows 95, 98, Me      \Windows\System For example, to manually register a dBASE driver, use the following syntax:

C:\winnt\system32\regsvr32.exe [path]MSXBSE35.DLL

Names of some of the ISAM drivers are listed in the following table:   Driver                   IISAM file ---  dBASE                    Msxbse35.dll Microsoft Excel         Msexcl35.dll Microsoft FoxPro        Msxbse35.dll Paradox                 Mspdox35.dll Text                    Mstext35.dll

Method 2
If the wizards have become corrupted, you need to reinstall them from the Microsoft Office CD-ROM. To do this, follow these steps:   Locate and rename the following files:    Wzmain80.mde Wztool80.mde Wzlib80.mde For example, rename the file Wzmain80.mde as Wzmain80.old.

 Reinstall Access, including the wizards, from the Microsoft Office CD-ROM.
