Query with Function like "Ucase" or "Left$ do not run on some comp

[Guest]

Problem to run a query in Access 2000 with functions like UCASE, LEFT$ or
MID$ (buil-in functions) on some computers with System Window XP and MS
Office 2000

It is a References problem. The arch-nemesis of Access is missing references.

To fix the References problem follow these steps on the computer(s) having the problems:
- Open any module in Design view.
- On the Tools menu, click References.
- At least one Reference should say "Missing". WRITE down the one(s) missing.
- Click to clear the check box for the type library or object library marked as "Missing:."
- Close the References Window box.
- Open the References Window back up. Hopefully, nothing should say Missing this time.
- Now go find that library/project(s) in the list that was missing.
- If more than one were missing, find the others and check them as well.
- Close the References box again.
- Now re-compile again. Debug--Compile.
- Hopefully you should not see any more compile errors.
