#Name? in Vista

[Dave]

Hi

I have an mde that uses the Date() in unbound controls to populate
todays date, It works fine on XP but on vista it does not work -
producing #name? in the control.

The references seem fine. If I take the original mdb and create a mde
on the vista machine it works OK. I have had a similar problem in the
past with XP and found updating tto MDACS has resolved it, but have
not been able to get a MDACS for vista

Any ideas?

Thanks

The problem is with references:

I usually will copy the mdb to the machine in question, then fix the
references, then make a new MDE. The reason that your download fixed the
problem is that reinstalling MDAC also registered it, thus fixing the
references. You can try re-registering the references, but you will need to
log on as administrator.
