Undefined Function - Access 2007

[PA]

We have a Access 2007 database, converted from Access version 2003
The following two functions are creating errors

Format$([DateCall],"dddd") AS OpenWeekDay
produces the error message "Undefined function Format$ in Expression"
and
Format(CDate(FormatDateTime([DateCall] & " " & [TimeCall])),"mm/dd/yyyy
hh:nn:ss") AS OpenDateMilTime
produces the error message "Undefined fuction Format in Expression"

The both did work when using Access 2003
I can sure use a bit of troubleshooting help.
Thank you
Paul

Your References collection is probably messed up.

References problems can be caused by differences in either the location or
file version of certain files between the machine where the application was
developed, and where it's being run (or the file missing completely from the
target machine). Such differences are common when new software is installed.

On the machine(s) where it's not working, go into the VB Editor and 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)

That did the trick, many thanks.
