The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Access Developer's Toolkit, version 2.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.

SYMPTOMS
========

When you install the new Setup Wizard included with the Microsoft Access version
2.0 Service Pack, the templates you had already defined in the Setup Wizard are
lost.

CAUSE
=====

The new version of the Setup Wizard overwrites the older one when you unpack it
with the Decomp utility included with the Service Pack. When the older version
of the Setup Wizard is overwritten, the existing templates contained in it are
overwritten as well.

RESOLUTION
==========

To work around this behavior, you can import the templates in the older Setup
Wizard into the new version. To do so, follow these steps.

NOTE: You must follow these steps before installing the new Setup Wizard. If you
have already installed the new Setup Wizard (and overwritten the older Setup
Wizard) these steps will not work.

1. Rename the older Setup Wizard file from SETUPWIZ.MDB to SETUPWIZ.BAK.

2. Install the new Setup Wizard following the instructions in the Service Pack.

3. Start Microsoft Access. While pressing the SHIFT key, open the SETUPWIZ.MDB
  file. (Pressing the SHIFT key while opening a database prevents the
  database's Autoexec macro from running.)

4. From the File menu, choose Import. In the Data Source box, select Microsoft
  Access, and then choose the OK button.

5. In the File Name box, select SETUPWIZ.BAK, and then choose OK.

6. In the Import Objects dialog box, select the zws_SetupTemplates table and
  then choose the Import button.

7. Repeat step 6 for the zws_TemplateFiles table.

8. After the tables are imported, choose the Close button.

9. Delete the zws_SetupTemplates and zws_TemplateFiles tables. These are the
  empty tables from the new Setup Wizard.

10. Rename the zws_SetupTemplates1 table to zws_SetupTemplates. Rename the
  zws_TemplateFiles1 table to zws_TemplateFiles.

11. Quit Microsoft Access and delete the SETUPWIZ.BAK file.
