date() function issue
hi...
have got an access database set up and i'm using the =date() function to apply date to a box. problem is if anyone else tries to use this (on another physical PC) they get an error. =now() works ok but gives time etc which we dont want. would the =today() function be a better bet? cheers |

date() function issue
More than likely you have a missing reference on the machine(s) which
exhibit the problem. To check is easy enough: On the affected machines open any code window or press Ctrl+G. Go to Tools ... References and either uncheck, or find and fix any marked as MISSING It doesn't even matter which library is affected, as a single missing reference can affect the entire application. For further information, Allen Browne has this great information.
