Importing text files option missing

[kasiwcd]

Im trying to work with access 97, to import a text file into access. All the books i have looked in and web pages found say, file - get external data - import, then in "files of type" drop down you can select text.

I dont have the option to do this.

I have Uninstalled office 97, reinstalled it. with all the extras.
I have gone into the help and added all the valupack but still nothing.

Thanks
