We have the same issues on Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10. also on Access 2013 and 2016 (O365). Every time we try to import data from a text file or Excel we get this error. Only way we have found around it so far was to completely wipe a machine and not install ANY office or windows updates. then we could get it to work. Have a (paid) ticket open with Microsoft for over a week and they just keep asking for more time. Any ideas out there? My guy reaction is this is related to a windows or office update but i have no way to narrow it down. We are going to start installing the updates one at a time on our test machine until it breaks. I was hoping someone else has had this issue. ANY feedback would be greatly appreciated, at this point i fear Microsoft will not have any answers for us
