In my case the solution was to make the wizard files (*.mde, *.mdt, *.mda)
world-writable (if we weren't talking about Windows NT that would be considered
a security risk!). There is something in the Knowledge Base about this in
relation to Access 95, but in my experience it hasn't been fixed in 97 or the
SP's.

BTW Can people check the following and reply to me. I am sure both Service Packs
have been thoroughly tested and these are to do with my configuration, but you
never know...

* Access 97 SP2 seems to have broken my Import Data wizard - it just doesn't
come up.

* NT 4.0 SP4 seems to have broken the Permissions dialog in file properties.
