[AccessD] ACCESS2003 Function is not Expression

Thanks Steve
It is running on the client's machine as an Access 2003 runtime. I think if
I remember correctly I ran into a similiar problem a couple of months ago
when I tried running an old application on my machine and a got a similar
message, the message was misleading as the solution had nothing to do with
the error message displayed but with Windows 7. 
Anyway the client is dropping off his laptop today, so I guess it is time to
do a "Sherlock Holmes" and try and figure out what is going on. Jeez I hate
having to deal with "mystery meat".

Tony

So is it running on the client's machine under Access 2010, or Access 2003 
Runtime?

I have an application that I develop in Access 2003, but runs on my server 
under Access 2010.  I ran into similar sort of problem, which I never 
properly got to the bottom of.  The only way I have found around it is to 
put it on the Access 2010 machine as an MDB, and then save as MDE there... 
in which case it works fine.

(Of course, this is relatively easy for me because it's my own computer, and

would be a pain to do on a customer's system unless you have remote access 
or something.)

Regards
Steve

It is a standalone alone install app, the client I think has Access2010. I
have run into some funky things with Windows 7 and Access code.
