Conversion Frustration

I have just converted a file over from Access97 to Access 2000. I have a
form that opens up to calendar. In Access 97 there was a code in the form:

Calendar.Value = IIf(IsNull(ScheduleDate), Date, ScheduleDate.Value)

For whatever reason, when debugging/compiling in A2000, it doesn't like the
Date statement above. I am not access wise (the person who made it has left
organization). Please help me out here if anyone can!

Thanks so much
Very desperate.
 
Two possibilities come to mind.

The first is that you've used Date somewhere else in your database: a field
in a table, a control on a form, or something like that. Date is a reserved
word, and should never be used in anything you created in the database.

The other possibility is that your references are messed up.

This can be caused by differences in either the location or file version of
certain files between the machine where the application was developed, and
where it's being run (or the file missing completely from the target
machine). Such differences are common when new software is installed.

On the machine(s) where it's not working, open any code module (or open the
Debug Window, using Ctrl-G, provided you haven't selected the "keep debug
window on top" option). Select Tools | References from the menu bar. Examine
all of the selected references.

If any of the selected references have "MISSING:" in front of them, unselect
them, and back out of the dialog. If you really need the reference(s) you
just unselected (you can tell by doing a Compile All Modules), go back in
and reselect them.

If none have "MISSING:", select an additional reference at random, back out
of the dialog, then go back in and unselect the reference you just added. If
that doesn't solve the problem, try to unselect as many of the selected
references as you can (Access may not let you unselect them all), back out
of the dialog, then go back in and reselect the references you just
unselected. (NOTE: write down what the references are before you delete
them, because they'll be in a different order when you go back in)
