Text Import Wizard Problem in XP

Since I got a new PC with XP and the latest version of Access on it, I
have been having problems with the Text Import Wizard.

In the section where you specify the field options, when I click on
different fields, the field name doesn't change at the top so I can't
change the data type of any field other than the first one.

Is this a setting that I can change or fix somewhere?

Any feedback would be great - thanks!

I believe this was fixed in SP1 for Access 2003. See
