Access 2003 reports under Vista

[rstone]

My Access 2003 reports that ran just fine under XP don't run under
Vista Home Premium. The first obvious
problem is that built-in functions in the report (e.g. TRIM, DATE(),
TIME() ) are not
recognized.

I've tried running as Administrator, and I have a number of printers
installed... still
have the problem.

What now?

The first obvious
problem is that built-in functions in the report (e.g. TRIM, DATE(),
TIME() ) are not
recognized.

This appears to be the very common References bug. Open any
module in design view, or open the VBA editor by typing
Ctrl-G. Select Tools... References from the menu. One of the
..DLL files required by Access will probably be marked
MISSING. Uncheck it, recheck it, close and open Access.

If none are MISSING, check any reference; close and open
Access; then uncheck it again. This will force Access to
relink the libraries.

I don't have 2007 installed so I'm not certain of the steps - but I'm pretty
sure it's missing references.
