=Date() still
=Date() still
(OP)
The specific problem is that a user starts an Access97 .mde
from a network drive. This specific user has NT as OS and when it opens de .mde in the startup form in a text-field it
should show the standard value which is set to =Date().
Instead of the date the value in the text field is #name?.
All other users use win95 or win98 and the don't have this problem.

RE: =Date() still
Copy these two files from your C:\Windows\System folder
Comctl32.ocx
Comdlg32.ocx
If they exist on the user machine, rename them (like comctl32.ocx.old)
Paste your two files in the user's C:\Windows\System folder.
This did it for us. The user's had older versions of these .ocx files.
Don't know if this is your problem, but it is worth a shot.

RE: =Date() still
As an option to the above you can replace Date() with Now() and will probably:) work - plus, Now() is a Date/Time function that can be formatted to display useful info.
