So our corporate IT dept has determined that it is time to force SP1

So our corporate IT dept has determined that it is time to force SP1 on everyone’s PC’s.

Which means I need to get my Access 2003 ADE application working with the stupid ADO incompatibility problem.

I got the ADO portion to work by following KB2517589, but now several of my textboxes say #Name?.

These are bound to code, so, for example, the data field in the textbox is =CalcShippingAddr().

As a test, I replaced the code with the following:

    Public Function CalcShippingAddr() As String
        msgbox "Func Called"
        CalcShippingAddr = "Test"
    End Function

This works fine on my dev machine, but as soon as I make an ADE and send it to a PC without SP1, I get #Name? on the textbox. The msgbox nevers pops up.

Any ideas what might be happening?

    This is a fault to do with the field calculation, I haven’t seen it myself but have heard that clicking in to the relevant text box would then show the value although this is not a solution. I would always recommend using unbound forms as you can control step by step what your fields/objects are doing. As you already have a custom function to calculate the shipping address then it should be simple enough for you to add the code the the forms ‘Open’ or ‘Load’ event e.g.

    Private Sub Form_Load()

    textbox = CalcShippingAddr

End Sub
