"mid" function error in Access 2007 runtime

Dhonan

I am running runtime access 2007 and get an error "mid" function undefined.
However, it works fine with the full version of Access 2007. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Do you have any references besides the basic three? Are you sure you
need them? Write down the path and name of the extra ones (or put the
following code in a module and execute the code), delete from the
references list and Compile and Save All. Keep any necessary
references and ensure they are distributed to the target system.

Sub ViewReferenceDetails()

Dim ref As Reference

For Each ref In Access.References
Debug.Print ref.Name & " - " & ref.Major & "." & ref.Minor & "
- " & ref.FullPath
Next ref

End Sub

For a very detailed page on reference problems see

Ctrl+G will take you into the Debug/Immediate window. Then click on
Tools on the menu bar and References.

The current Access 2007 runtime has a major bug. A call to just about any
native Access 2007 function as a direct part of a query causes an error, even
if the code works perfectly in the full version of Access 2007. Try creating
a local version of the function you're having a problem with, and reference
it in the query instead of the native function. This should resolve the
problem.

Public Function MyMid( byVal pcString as variant, ByVal pnStart as variant,
byVal pnLength as variant) as variant
MyMid = mid(pcString,pnStart,pnLength)
End Function
