I am using Window 7 and Access 2007

[Als Hotmail]

The trim function gives me a compiler error

SortName: Trim([Members]![LastName] & ", " & [Members]![FirstName] & " " &
[Members]![MiddleName] & " " & [Members]![Suffix] & " " & [Members]![Title])

The function works using windowXP & vista

Any suggestions would be helpful.

In the VB window, type the following in the Immediate pane:

Debug.Print Trim(" 1 " )

If you get an error, then it's probably a References issue. Go up to Tools,
References and see if anything is amiss there.

If it does work, there may be something wrong with your SortName. Simplify
by removing some of the fields in it and see what works and doesn't work.

Debug.Print Trim(" 1 " ) works in the VB window.
When I put in a query grid sortname: trim(" 1 ") I get the error message
compile error in query.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks Al
