-----------------------------------------------------------

This problem is for Access97 running under Windows98.

I created the following column in a select query:

DivNumber:Mid([tArea].[AreaNumber],1,1)

I get the following error message when I try to run the
query:

Function isn't available in expressions in query
expression 'Mid([tArea].[AreaNumber],1,1)'.

This query is based on a table named tArea that has 2
columns:

AreaNumber - text, fieldsize=4
AreaName - text, fieldsize=50

I went into Help and they show examples using Left, Right,
and Mid functions in queries.

Anybody know why my example won't work?

Thanks to anyone who can help me.

Click to expand...

This appears to be the very common References bug. Open any
module in design view, or open the VBA editor by typing
Ctrl-G. Select Tools... References from the menu. One of the
..DLL files required by Access will probably be marked
MISSING. Uncheck it, recheck it, close and open Access.

If none are MISSING, check any reference; close and open
Access; then uncheck it again. This will force Access to
relink the libraries.
