If you're referring to a reference that doesn't exist on the user's machine,
you will run into problems with all of your references, and losing the Date
function is an extremely common symptom of References problems.

Consider using Late Binding rather than including the Outlook reference.
Tony Toews has a discussion about late binding, with several links, at

I have a field in my database called "Entry Date" and the
default is set as =Date()

I have had no problems, but recently I have had problems
with the date not populating. Originally I thought it was
because I had a missing reference to MSOUTL.OLB, but I
just checked with a user and their system is pulling up
the right reference.

Could this be because I am referencing an Outlook 2002 OLB
and some of the users have Outlook 2000 on their systems?
