Access is displaying #Name? instead of a Date.

[JW]

On one of our computers in the office when ever it is supposed to
display a date, it is displaying #Name? instead. The other 15 computers
in our office running the same Access Database are having no problems at
all.

Any help on why this would be happening is greatly appreciated. We
tried reintalling Office 2003 and that did not solve the problem.

Thank you,

Jason

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

To fix the References problem follow these steps:
- 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.
