ACC: Import Specification Doesn't Convert Properly (141005)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Access 2.0
- Microsoft Access for Windows 95 7.0
This article was previously published under Q141005 Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.
SYMPTOMS
If you create an import/export specification in Microsoft Access version
2.0 for a fixed-width table with no fields specified in the specification
grid and then convert the database to a Microsoft Access for Windows 95
version 7.0 database, you may receive one or both of the following error
messages when you attempt to access that specification in Microsoft Access
7.0:
An error occurred trying to load import/export specification 'Spec name'
-or-
Page fault in vb232.dll
RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, follow these steps:
- Open the database where you want to store the import/export
specification.
- On the File menu, click Imp/Exp Setup.
- Select the proper specification from the Specification Name box.
- Fill out the columns in the field information section for each field in
the text file, and then click OK.
- Quit Microsoft Access 2.0 and start Microsoft Access 7.0.
- On the File menu, click Open Database.
- Select the database you want to open. Note that when prompted, you
are now able to successfully convert the Microsoft Access 2.0 database
to Microsoft Access 7.0.
