I can run saved database queries but when I try to create a new one I get an error saying that MS Query is not installed. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled Office but It’s still not working. Any ideas?

I have Excel 2000 SP3 & Windows XP Home
When I go to Data | Get External Data | Run Saved Query I can imort data from an Access database into an Excel worksheet. Wheh I go to Data | Get External Data | New Database Query after a delay a message appears to tell me that MS Query is not installed. MSQRY32.EXE is in the Office folder & I have reinstalled it by renaming it to .old & running the Add/Remove facility in the Office installer to no avail.
I have searched the MSKB & found an article at:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?…kb;en-us;179686%5B/url%5D
that refers to this problem but in Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh Edition. Nevertheless I have tried the resolutions from the article again to no avail. When trying to start MS Query by double-clicking MSQRY32.EXE apart from the display blinking MS Query does not open. Task Manager both in applications & processes does not show that it is running.
Can you add anything to the reply you made to Bill last January?

AskWoody LoungerAugust 2, 2005 at 11:41 am #963983From my reading elsewhere on the Internet it would appear that Detect & Repair will not change the situation. In fact I omitted in my first message to mention that I had tried D&R without any change in the behaviour I was experiencing.
This behaviour does appear to be a known issue so I will continue my search for a solution.
As always my thanks for your response.

AskWoody LoungerAugust 13, 2005 at 1:10 pm #966255Since my last message I have been searching & asking whoever, wherever & whenever & have eventually found a work-a-round. I happen to have MS Works on my system & on the suggestion of Kay Ewbank of Computer Shopper (UK) I used the files MSQRY32.EXE & QRYINT32.DLL from Works to replace the files of the same name in MS Office. I now can access MS Query in MS Excel 2000 through Data | Get External Data | New Database Query. The two files have the same name but different date/time stamps & volumes in each suite.
I just love Microsoft! {8;-))
