Default Access Labels Maker Doesn't Work

Used to able to make labels from earlier editions of Access w/o any problems.
Since updating to "2007" I wind up with messages popping up and little boxes
asking for parameter values for Trim even though I use the Label Wizard and
would assume "the Wizard" would/should take care of ninty gritty details. I'm
a "user" not a developer or programer. How do I fix this problem so I can
just print some labels?

Default Access Labels Maker Doesn't Work

Open any code window and go to Tools References and look for any marked
as "MISSING". If you find any, fix them. Then try and compile the database.
You may have to do it again.

Default Access Labels Maker Doesn't Work

Thank you! Once I figured out how to get to the toolsreferences, I found
"utility.mda" with "MISSING" in front of it and I unchecked the box and the
labels appear almost perfect. Seems like there is always one more thing. The
labels will include phone numbers and the numbers appear in the labels but
without the normal formatting: i.e. (xxx) xxx-xxxx, the ( ) and - are
missing. What do i do to make them appear?

How are they appearing NOW? 123 4567890? You can use the format function to
format the value
Format([TelephoneNumber],"(@@@)@@@@-@@@@")
If the number is 1234567890 then the format specification would be the
following if you wanted to add the space.
"(@@@) @@@-@@@@")

Default Access Labels Maker Doesn't Work

The telephone numbers appear in the format I prefer "(000) 000-0000"
everywhere (tables, queries, reports) except when I select them to appear on
a standard Avery label using the Access Label Wizard. I want up to three
telephone numbers to appear on one line on the label i.e. the fields a
Home Phone, Work Phone, and Cell Phone. If the phone numbers are already
formatted the way I want them and appear correctly elsewhere why does
selecting them for use in a labels report cause this problem? They appear as:
1234567890.

If you look in the table, you have stored them unformatted. You can change
that with an update query (for safety, use a new column) using the format
function that John provided you.

Can you post the phone control's source?
Is it just a field? OR is it something like
="Home Phone" & [Home Phone]

I suspect that you have a display format that shows the phone number fields
with the formatting you see (very possibly the format is set at the table
field level). The actual value being stored is 1234567890.

Each is a field i.e. Home Phone, Work Phone, and Cell Phone in the Database
table.
At some point I think I selescted the use of the telephone number input mask
for data entry and everything appears with (@@@) @@@-@@@@ as the apparent
"format" in the table, queries, and reports other than in a label. I looked
at these fields in TableDesign ViewProperties and note that while the input
mask was shown for each, the Format property box was blank. So I typed in the
above desired format you gave me with the hope that that would finally be it.
No help phone numbers on the labels still appear as 1234567890.
