SYMPTOMS
If a file that is not a table exists with the same name and extension as
the table you want to save, the Table Wizard does not overwrite the old
file with the new table. Several error messages appear in succession and
the new table is not saved. The following errors appear after typing the
table's name and clicking Save:
Error #15 in checkfilename(0): Not a table.
followed by:
Error #13 in checkfilename(0): Alias '_CHECKNAME' is not found.
followed by:
Error #1924 in processoutput(0): OWIZARD is not an object.
After the error messages disappear, the Table Wizard shuts down.
If the original file is a table and not a text file, the Table Wizard
overwrites it properly.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article.
