Default Undefined function 'Left' in expression

Hello all,

First off I want to say I read a lot of the previous posts about this issue
and none seem to be similar to mine. I am working on a database someone
before me had created, actually it was two databases so I'm combining them
into one since there is no reason to have two of them and I'm automating them
to buttons (instead of manually running multiple queries, macros, etc). Now
when I run through the queries I'm getting the "Undefined function 'Left' in
expression" error. This doesn't deal with VBA, just simply queries but I
still checked for missing references and there were none. I've tried now
creating a basic query with only one field and used the Builder to create an
expression using left on a select query and it still gives me this error.
What would make it so I can't use the Left function in any query? Thanks for
any assistance you can provide!
