Access 97 app on Windows XP

An access 97 app running on XP is giving problems with string
functions, amongst others. 'Chr' and 'Trim' provoke errors
(Unfortunately I don't have any more dat to hand at the moment).

Any obvious causes of this problem?
Any general considerations to be taken into account when trying to run
Access 97 apps on windows XP?

Thanks in advance for any help.
