No messages, the status bar on the bottom shows 'Link Table Wizard' for just
a second or two then nothing.

Yes, same results after Office & SR2 reinstall (& WinNT4-SP6).  Tried to
clean up register before reload, but no help.

Separate on each.

All 3 steps on each of the 4 Office 97 machines.

Off2k machine(1 each) - Converted Access 2000 machine to 'prior Access
version'.
Off97 machines (4 each) - Preformed all 3 steps with the same results.
