I don't have ac2007 but I suspect Date() works as it always has. Do you have
any reference problems?

I've been using Access 2007 heavily for a couple of months and not
experienced that problem.
In what fashion do you get an error?

On mine, I just had an access2003 database that I opened but I had not
converted it. I was just trying out 2007 and wanted to see it in action.
Havent used it since(work still uses 2003)

In a database still in A2003 format running under A2007, make sure you have
these references:
Visual Basic for Applications
Microsoft Access 12.0 Object Library
Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library
Microsoft Office 12.0 Object Library
Microsoft Activex Data Objects 2.8 Library
I think this will fix things up.

My database is still in A2000. I'm using =Date() in a text box on a report
to just give a current date. I get the error ?name.

What was the result of your checking references? How about the naming
issues that have been mentioned (such as whether there is a field named Date
anywhere)?

There's not a field named Date. It works fine in A2003 just not A2007. We've
move one computer over to A2007 to see what issues we'll have to deal with
this is one of them.

I'm sorry, I guess references just went right over my head. I checked them
and the utility.mda was missing so I deleted the reference and now
everything works like it should. So what did I delete? What is utlility.mda?
Do I need it? Thanks so much.

I think I more or less understand what references are, but I can't really
explain them coherently. I do know that if built-in functions produce the
#Name error it is often a references problem. Doug Steele's article on the
subject (I have added the link again) covers the subject in more detail than
I knew existed, but is clearly written for all that.

Read that article...a bit more info than this brain can understand. I guess
I'll see if A2007 will miss utility.mda. Thanks for all your help!

Glad for the chance to contribute from time to time. I wish I could claim
credit for finding the link, but another person in the thread posted that.
