missing vsflex3.ocx?

[Bob on Whidbey]

I have recently purchased Office Access 2007. I am trying to read a
MDB that I created in the prior version of Access but I'm getting a
error message "missing vsflex3.ocx" How can I solve this problem.

If I click OK 3-4 times, I then get an error message "Undefined
function "Left" in expression." I thought this was a standard VB
function. How to solve that problem.

TIA

Left IS a standard VBA function. However, Access looks in all the other
linked reference libraries first, before it checks the VBA library. That
means you need to resolve the fact that it can't fun vsflex3.ocx first
