Access 97 save as type is different between loads
Access 97 save as type is different between loads
(OP)
We have several systems running Access 97 and when we do save as/export there is different save as types listed in the save as types box. The systems were loaded the same way as far as we know. Reloading office 97 with custom load and then select all does not add the additional format types in the save as type box. Basically some of our system have Excel 3,4,5 and 97 format type in the selection box and some do not, why?

our's even said they were "installed", but the gray out didn't let us uninstall and then reinstall.
We fixxed this problem by following the steps outlined in Q171955 - ACC97:Certain ISAM drivers Not Appearing in Files Of Type Box.
Lots of steps but basically, you find and rename:
MSEXCL35.dll
MSTEXT35.dll
MSXBSE35.dll
then start office setup (should go to maintenance mode), hit Add/Remove, select Data Access, change, database drivers, change, you should now see the check box cleared (ours was), but microsoft says you can now uncheck to uninstall, then reinstall.
