Access 97 can't find function name

Beginning yesterday, all Access 97 apps run fine on one computer, but on
another computer, ALL Access 97 apps give the following error when Autoexec
is executed:

"The expression you entered has a function name that Microsoft Access can't
find"

(1) no changes to installed software on either computer
(2) its the same MDB on both computers
(3) the offending computer never sees the internet
(4) the one function that Autoexec calls does exist, and works on the other
computer
(5) on the offending computer, the above message is displayed and the
function: StartUp() is never executed ( a breakpoint set on the first line
of StartUp() is never hit ).

I are confoosed.

Thank in advance for your help,

Open a code window and check Tools / References. You probably have a
broken reference.
