error when trying to split or manage linked tables

[Crowbar]

Office 2000 premium--
All of the sudden I am getting this error message when either going to the
linked table manager, or the database splitter. error message is:

"microsoft access cannot find the wizard, or there is a syntax error in the
declarations section of a visual basic module.
the wizard you need may be missing from the libraries key of the microsoft access section of the windows registry.
to make sure that the wizard is in the windows registry, run setup to
reinstall microsoft access, and then compile all visual basic modules in the
database"
I don't really want to reinstall the whole office package. Can't seem to
find anything on this by searching here.
Nothing has changed recently on this machine.
I thought at first it was my database, but made a small simple test DB and get the same error.
anyone ever see this before?

I don't think you need to reinstall everything, but you may want to go into Add/Remove programs and select REPAIR Installation.

Repair install did not work. Damn, now I have to spend the day trying to find out what is wrong instead of being productive.
Funny, I can't seem to find anything on this on the microsoft site, or newsgroups. I think its a registry issue.....

When this was installed initially, did you (or whoever installed it), select CUSTOM install and make sure everything was selected. A typical install won't do it necessarily.

I fixed the issue!! Yea!!
I installed it myself, and yes it was a full install.

My fix:
closed access, then renamed 3 files in the X:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Office\1033 folder, ACWZLIB.MDE, ACWZMAIN.MDE, and ACWZTOOL.MDE
restarted access, which then reinstalled the wizards properly, you will need
your office 2000 disk 1 if you try this.

There really is no infomation out there that I could find to fix this, so maybe this will help someone at sometime!!
