SYMPTOMS

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
In Microsoft Access version 2.0:
  1. Open the MSACC20.INI file in any text editor such as Notepad.
  2. Find the [Libraries] section.

    wzfrmrpt.mda = rw
