Hi all,
After I converted my database from Access97 to Access2000. When I am trying to run the report, I got an error message saying "Undefined function"LEFT" in expression". I found out there was a grouping error on the report when grouping by the customer name with "PREFIX CHARACTER". I have to group by this way to sort the report as the way the user wanted. Is the database run against Access 2000 missing any component during the convert or any idea ??? Any help would greatly appreciated.

In VB Editor, Go to Tools-Links (1st entry) and check if there is any dll marked "not available".
It might be, that some... let's say "Office 8.0" library link is set, but you have not Office 8 installed, but Office 9.

Remove the unavailable link and link the correct dll.

Hope that was the problem.. :)
