what should I do?
Your system is missing a Text import filter file or the registry is not pointing to the file. The file used is C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MSTEXT35.DLL on win95 and c:\WinNT\System32\mstext35.dll on WinNT.
The Office 97 CD will be used or whatever you used to install Access 97 on your computer.
To solve the problem, install mstext35.dll from the ValuPack - Data Access Pack or the Data Access - Database Drivers - Text and HTML Driver. Check to see if you have this file on your computer. If you do, RENAME the file and do an uninstall and then install to get a new copy of the file and get the Registry set up correctly. Description is below.
On the Office 97 install, the area
to install the file is:
Data Access
Database Drivers
Text and HTML Driver
Rename the mstext35.dll file if it is on your computer and then do
the above specified uninstall and then install. If the file is
not added, then try getting the file out of the ValuPack area on the
Office 97 CD.
OR
Look under the ValuPack and double
click the Dataacc\dataacc.exe install and select the following
area:
Data Access Pack
Data Access Drivers
Microsoft Text and HTML
Driver
Again rename the mstext35.dll file if it is already on your computer,
do an uninstall and then install and the file should be
installed.
