=Format$ field doesn't work after copying database to new computer

[Jerry Harris]

Hello,
After copying a database to a new computer, a header using the
=Format$ stops working. Instead of displaying the field, the report
prompts me to "Enter paramater value for Format$. Any input would be
appreciated.
TIA,

Jerry,
The machine may have a missing reference.
Open any module in Design view.
On the Tools menu, click References.
Click to clear the check box for the type library or object library
marked as "Missing:."

An alternative to removing the reference is to restore the referenced
file to the path specified in the References dialog box. If the
referenced file is in a new location, clear the "Missing:" reference
and create a new reference to the file in its new folder.

See Microsoft KnowledgeBase articles:
283115 'ACC2002: References That You Must Set When You Work with
Microsoft
Access'
Or for Access 97:

the correct ones needed,
and

how to reset a missing one.
