Dear List: I have a user running my app (2003 mde) on two machines - one is a W7 PC with Access 2010. The other is a Mac running Parallels and is using the run-time of my app created with Wise/Sagekey. I added a gross margin spreadsheet export (the gross margin report works fine) and he gets the same error on both machines: "The expression OnClick you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: Function is not available in expressions in query expression "Format(IIf(Nz([SellingPrice])=0,"",([SellingPrice]-Nz([Total Cost]))/[SellingPrice]),"Percent")' * The expression may not result in the name of a macro, the name of a user defined function, or [Event Procedure]. * There may have been an error evaluating the function, event, or macro. I'm guessing the line of code it's barfing on is: DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, "qryGrossMarginExport", strFrontEndPath & "GrossMarginExport.xls", True If I could get it to fail here, I'm sure I could fix it. But no cigar. Works like a champ on my 2003 machine and my 2010 box (but that box also has Office 2003 installed). I also tried it on a VM with Office 2007 installed. But I do not have a VM with 2010 installed. Nevertheless, you would think the run time on the Mac would work. So I'm left with speculating what the problem could be and trying various solution without being able to test them here. I thought about deleting the optional argument acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, but help says it defaults to 8 or 9 anyway. As an added bonus, this is an app that has to run on target machines that may have 2003, 2007, 2010 or 2013 loaded. Any ideas on what might be going wrong here or what to look at next?
