I'm having a problem that I believe is OS related. I have some forms and
reports that return #Name? only on the machine that has Windows 2000
Professional. What do I need to do so that my database will run properly on
both Windows 2000 (laptop) and Windows XP Professional (desktop)? Thanks for
the help.

Sometimes you can run into differences between *computers*. When those
*computers* have different versions of Windows it is easy to jump to the
conclusion that the Windows version is the reason for the difference. When it
comes to Access that will almost never be the case.

You have a missing or broken library reference on the PC with Windows 2000, but
it is not BECAUSE of Windows 2000. That is just a coincidental difference
between the two PCs.

Open a code window in your app on the PC with the problem and go to Tools -
References. You will likely see one marked "MISSING". That reference either
needs to be removed or repaired to eliminate the problem. If you Google these
groups on "Missing references" you will find lots more details about the issue.
