Question : Disabled Extensions - MSAccess export to Excel

Everyone,

I have two computers, one with MSOffice 2000 (9.0.3821 SR-1) and the other with MSOffice 2003 (11.8033.8036) SP2.

I have a database that uses a FORM with drop downs and buttons. One of the buttons exports the data to Excel. On the computer with MSOffice 2003 it works as advertised; however on the computer with Office 2000 I get the following error: "The formats that enable you to output data as a Microsoft Excel, rich-text format, MS-DOS text, or HTML file are missing from the windows registry."

I've done some research...

...here is the registry settings for the MSO 2003 computer
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Jet\4.0\Engines\Excel]
"win32"="C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\OFFICE11\\msaexp30.dll"
"DisabledExtensions"="!xls"
"ImportMixedTypes"="Text"
"FirstRowHasNames"=hex:01
"AppendBlankRows"=dword:00000001
"TypeGuessRows"=dword:00000019
"win32old"="C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\msexcl40.dll"

"TypeGuessRows"=dword:00000019
"win32"="C:\\WINNT\\System32\\msexcl40.dll"

The second computer does have the file "msaexp30.dll"; however it is in...
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE\msaexp30.dll

I made the following registry changes but the results were the same.
"win32"="C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\OFFICE\\msaexp30.dll"
"win32old"="C:\\WINNT\\System32\\msexcl40.dll"

My macro simply does an "Output To", with the Format "Microsoft Excel 97-2003 (*.xls)" and Autostart is "Yes".

What do I have to do, to get the Export to Excel feature to work on the MSOffice 2000 computer?
