[AccessD] Patch problem?

Hi Rocky:

I can not produce the error at this moment as it can only be produced on
certain machines on certain client sites... and they are very busy right
now. 

The computer in question, has a fully patched XP SP3, Access 2003, all
references match one to one to a system without issues. Reference issues are
usually my first suspect when things go sideways but not so in this case.

I can not remember the precise error as it was very late last night when I
uncovered it but paraphrasing the error "'mid(' is not a valid reference"
would be an approximation of the error.

Jim

What error?  Usually when I see this it's because of a missing reference.

Hi All:

Has anyone else ran into the 'mid, left and right' errors?

I have had this problem pop up from time to time on a variety of MS Access
applications.

Sometime it takes a while to actually get the system to respond with an
error message but an odd display may trigger an investigation and then
drilling down usually uncovers the source.

Most times I have been able to code around it, sometimes it will only affect
one or maybe two desktops in a whole site. It usually shows up when there is
a very complex piece of code or sequel request. 

Sometimes the problems can be resolved by pre-processing some of the data
before some heavy number crunching. Other times by recompiling on the
client's site... Other times by repeatedly applying patches.

I have had the same problem with Access 2000, 2003 and 2007 on Windows OS
XP, Vista and Windows7

Is this just me or have others run across the same problem? Is there a
resolution or a specific cause?

Any comments or help would be greatly appreciated.

Jim
