Converted MDE Error ?

[Frank H]

Can anybody help ?

I am using Office XP developer. I have a db (2000 format) that I wrote for a
customer some years ago. It runs as MDB on some w/s and MDE (converted to
2002 format) on others - no issues at all.
They wished to install app in another office that has 4 w/s running WinXp /
Office XP, - according to customers, fully up to date with patches etc.
I re-created an MDE after converting original from 2000 to 2002 format, and
it runs without problem on three of them, but has problem on 4th (a slightly
older notebook). Problem is simply that I get #name? in an unbound field that
has the following as its default value : "=DateAdd("yyyy",-1,Date())". There
is no problem if I assign this value in the forms open event.
I created a 2000 MDE, and there is no problem at all !
Can anybody tell me if this is a problem caused by the conversion from 2000
to 2002 format, or is it a w/s environment issue ?

TIA

This is most likely a workstation issue. I suspect that the affected machine
has a MISSING reference problem. Here is more information on this topic:

If the problem is related to a reference marked as MISSING, this will be
easier to troubleshoot by using the .mdb instead of the .mde file on this
machine.

But who knows....it could be another problem as well, such as an improperly
registered file.
