Report controls bound to functions fail in Access97 Runtime

[DWD]

I include a control on the page footer of all reports to show the current date, with control source as follows:
=Format(Date(), "dd/mm/yyyy")

When the report opens, it cannot resolve the functions and instead displays parameter prompt dialog boxes for Format and Date

This problem doesn't occur on my own PC or others that I tested it on with existing full-blown or runtime software versions installed. However, I have distributed my application and the Access97 runtime software to a client who installed it all afresh. I suspect that I've failed to distribute certain required files as part of the runtime package

DWD:

Check the references that your db uses by opening a module and choosing
Tools->references. it may be referencing a wizzard like utility.mda or
something else that isn't distributed with the run time.
