access thread: Big Mystery Format


Message #1 by pmcmillin@m... on Thu, 10 May 2001 17:42:18 -0700
I have a mystery that I am needing solved.  I have created a Xtab query 

that formated the date like the following:



Month: Format([DateEntered],"mmm")



And it appeared to work just fine.  Until today...  Now I am getting the 

following message:



"Function isn't available in the expressions in the query expression 

'Format([DateEntered],"mmm")"



And of course help took me no where.  Not quite sure why this worked before 

and now it doesn't want to work anywhere.  I tried the Wizard and it built 

the same function and it still wont' work.  I went to someone else's 

computer and tried to run it from there and still no action.



Has any one seen this before?



Thanks

It sounds as if you may have lost one of your references.  Open any module

and go to Tools > References.  See if any that are checked off are listed as

Missing.  If one of them is remove the check to the missing reference.

Compile the entire database after this to insure everything compiles

properly.
