#Name? in Vista
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 DaveG |

#Name? in Vista
The problem is with references:
http://www.accessmvp.com/DJSteele/Ac...nceErrors.html 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. -- Arvin Meyer, MCP, MVP http://www.datastrat.com http://www.mvps.org/access http://www.accessmvp.com "Dave" wrote in message ...
