Hi,
I had to build a new intranet machine a while ago and just found out that at the end of my macros, I get the error: "The expression you entered has a function MS Office Access can't find" -- I believe it is related to the "run code" macro which simply does this: shell("c:\runtest.bat") --- It looks like I can't run anything with the "shell" command - as if the "shell" command doesn't exist in Access anymore ?? What has happened?

Thanks

John

Check your References. See if there are any missing. If not, it may still be the COMCTL32.ocx problem that I go into here:

Thee were no missing references and the closes thing to COMCTL32.ocx was
mscomctl.ocx so I added that with no luck. seems like there must be one reference tht specifically allows "shell" command.
