Unrecognised command in Win2000 but not in Win98

My access 2000 project was written on a win 98 machine and has a macro with
a
condition

DateValue(FileDateTime("c:\database\full22.txt"))< Date()

This was written in expression builder.

On the Win 98 machine all works fine. When using same datbase on a Win 2000
machine this
condition fails and generates message "unrecognised function........."

It appears to be the filedatetime section that is not working. In the
immediate pane of the VB code section of access on the win2000
machine the expression works fine. It seems to just be a problem when used
as a macro condition.

Has anyone got any ideas how to resolve the problem

Many Thanks

Correction to my previous post. The actual error message is "The expression
you entered has a function name that db4 can't find"
Access version is 2000.

Any clues??
