How do I resolve an Access wizard error?

This is probably not a security issue, but I did not receive a response from
a different Access discussion group.

When I try to use the function "create table by using wizard" I receive an
error message that says the following:

"This feature isn't installed, or has been disabled. To install this
feature, rerun the Microsoft Office Access or Microsoft Office Setup program
or, if you're using a third-party add-in, reinstall the add-in. To reenable
this wizard, click About Microsoft Office Access on the Help menu, and then
click the Disabled Items button to view a list of addins which you can
enable."

I attempted to find out if the item had been disabled, but after clicking on
About Microsoft Office, I found out that there are no disabled items. Is
rerunning the setup of Office my only other option? Can I just rerun the
setup for Access, or do I have to do it for all of the other Office 2003
programs at the same time? If so, will this affect the documents that I have
saved?

You should be able to rerun setup from the CD; just don't uncheck the other
Office items, or they'll be removed which isn't what you want.

Expand the Access portion of the setup and ensure you have checked
everything.

You will not lose any documents, spreadsheets, databases, etc.
