user defined not defined

[shank]

I've had the below function from Duane working for years. Upgraded to MS
Access 2007 and it I get an error: Undefined function Concatenate and
sometimes another error: user-defined type not defined

Googling suggests I don't have the correct references. I have these:
Visual Basic For Applications
Microsoft Access 12.0 Library
OLE Automation
Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library

Am I missing something?
thanks

There is no ADO reference in the above. And, you should not be using the dao
3.6 reference.

Try creating a BLANK database..and look at the references...that is ALL you
should need if you using DAO only.

Are you using ADO, or DAO throughout your application?

In the above you incorrectly set dao, but in your code below you choosing
ADO?

So, it not only going to confuse ms-access, but just looking at your code as
posted, you have no ADO in the above, have inserted a DAO reference the
above, and then in your code your commented out the dao part of your code?

So, you have a lot of flip flopping here....

Your default references should be:

Visual Basic For Applications
Microsoft Access 12.0 Library
OLE Automation
Microsoft office 12.0 Access database engine Object.

Now, since your code is using ADO (and I assume you using ado throughout
your application then?).

That being the case, you need to add an ADO reference.

I would add:

Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.5 Library.

If your preference in most of your code is ADO, then of course you need to
move the ADO "up" in the reference list above that of DAO (which is now
called ACE (access database engine Object).

So:

Visual Basic For Applications
Microsoft Access 12.0 Library
OLE Automation

Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.5 Libary. <--- ADO
Microsoft office 12.0 Access database engine Object. <---DAO
