Can't create append query

Using Access 2000 (my other Office products are v 2003), have a simple
database. I want to append records from one table to another table - that's
all. I know it's an append query, but I don't seem to have that option
available to me. Help menu gives me a UA control error message. I've run
all required updates (and then some), did detect and repair. Still nothing.
I know I've done this before, I have another append query on my switchboard,
tried to copy it and then edit it, but no luck there. Any thoughts?

Did you create a query first, then open it in Design View and select Append
Query from the Query menu?

Main point here is that to use the interface (rather than writing SQL) you
need to create a query, then turn it into an append query.

What have you tried??? Just create a Query based on the source table, and then
choose Query... Append from the menu to make it into an append query; you'll
be prompted for the target table.
