I am trying to create a page from a table, and I am getting a prompt that 

says "The wizard is unable to create your data access page." I get the 

same message on all my different tables. I have no idea what I'm doing 

wrong -- does anyone have any ideas? 



Thank you --

Mary

Not seeing your database only allows me to guess.  Here goes...



Given your database is intact and not malfunctioning, check to see if your 

database is saved in the same version as your Microsoft Access.  If it 

isn't, make them match.



For example, when I was upgraded to Access XP (i.e. 2002), I converted my 

Access '97 databases whenever Access XP prompted me.  After the 

conversion, I found I could NOT create any MDE files from the MDBs.  The 

reason was because Access XP was converting my '97 databases to the Access 

2000 version as a default instead of to Access 2002.  Once I converted my 

databases to Access 2002, Access XP would allow me to create the MDE files.



So if you're using Access XP, make sure your database is saved as an 

Access 2002 format and not Access 2000 or earlier.  Then try to create the 

page.



Good luck!
