I have a lot trouble trying to get pivot table/pivot chart wizards to work on my laptop, running access 2003 on win xp.
Attempting to open "Sales Analysis" form in Northwind database yielded: "This feature is not available. To make this feature available, please run setup again, select "add or remove features" ...

I have removed and re-installed the whole of office 2003 and rebooted laptop 2x tonight already without any luck. I have ensured that I have selected to install both typical and additional wizards each time. On my desktop pc, there is no problem, the form opens with a pivottable and pivot chart.

I also had trouble creating a pivot chart from a query [following description in Helen Feddema's Inside Out book] - with error "The wizard is unable to open form in Form view. The source table is being used by another user." (What!!! Who!!)

Grateful for any help.

Getting pivottable to work

Locally the Office 2003 installation needs to be adjusted.
go to Add/Remove programs and change Office 2003 Professional installation.
Select the "Choose advanced customization of applications"
In Office shared features select "Run all from my computer" for "Office 2003 Web components" I had thesame error as you and after installing these web components Pivot table and wizrd started working.

Goodluck
Anton :)
