Undefined function '[Right$]' in expression in a query after upgra

[Guest]

We recently upgraded from Office 2000 to Office 2003. After doing so our
string functions don't seem to work anymore. When I attempt to run a query
that used to display the 5 rightmost characters of one field, I now get an
error message:
Undefined function '[Right$]' in expression in a query after upgrade

The expression looks something like this Password: [Right$]([Residual
Apps]!Info,5). (I changed the field name and table name for security reasons).

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks!

That PC has a missing reference.
Open any module in Design view (or click Ctrl + G).
On the Tools menu, click References.
Click to clear the check box for the type library or object library
marked as "Missing:."

An alternative to removing the reference is to restore the referenced
file to the path specified in the References dialog box. If the
referenced file is in a new location, clear the "Missing:" reference
and create a new reference to the file in its new folder.

Microsoft Access'
Or for Access 97:

If you have ADO 2.6, there's no reason to try and add ADO 2.1

In a nutshell, the instructions for fixing References problems are:

On the machine(s) where it's not working, open any code module. Select Tools
| References from the menu bar. Examine all of the selected references.

If any of the selected references have "MISSING:" in front of them, unselect
them, and back out of the dialog. If you really need the reference(s) you
just unselected (you can tell by doing a Compile All Modules), go back in
and reselect them.

If none have "MISSING:", select an additional reference at random, back out
of the dialog, then go back in and unselect the reference you just added. If
that doesn't solve the problem, try to unselect as many of the selected
references as you can (Access may not let you unselect them all), back out
of the dialog, then go back in and reselect the references you just
unselected. (NOTE: write down what the references are before you delete
them, because they'll be in a different order when you go back in)

Okay -

I tried all of that, then restarted Access and the application, and am still
getting the same error. What library reference contains the String
functions? Perhaps it is corrupted.

Unless you have another thought.

In almost every case where it's complaining about VBA functions such as
Right$, the problem isn't the library that contains that function (FWIW,
it's contained in the Visual Basic for Applications reference). References
are like apples: one bad one spoils the whole bunch.

Are the square brackets around Right$ actually in the query's SQL? If so,
remove them. While you're at it, see whether just using Right, rather than
Right$, makes a difference.

Douglas -

Removing the square brackets from the Right$ in the SQL view did the trick.
Not sure how they got there in the first place since I didn't put them there.
However, the function works again!

Many thanks for your advice!
