ACC2000: Can't use Replace() in Control Source of report
Hi, I have a report in Access 2000. In a Control source of a text box I
have: =Trim(replace(UCase([LIST5]),"PER BOX","")). Access does not recognize the replace function. Am I missing a reference here? How do I fix this? LIST5 is my actual field and I want to remove the string "PER BOX" from LIST5 if it exists. Thanks.

ACC2000: Can't use Replace() in Control Source of report
Are you fully patched and updated for your 2000 ACCESS program? ACCESS 2000
did not recognize Replace function in queries and expressions until SP3, I believe. -- Ken Snell MS ACCESS MVP "A Man" wrote in message . net... Hi, I have a report in Access 2000.

ACC2000: Can't use Replace() in Control Source of report
A work around would be to create a function to do the replace and make the
function the control source: Private Function FormatControl(varOriginal As Variant) As String FormatControl = Trim(replace(UCase(Nz([LIST5], vbNullString)), _ "PER BOX", vbNullString)) End Function Note using Variant in the function is in case there is a null value in the field LIST5] Also, change of "" to vbNullString. Using an intrinsic constant rather than a literal is a performance enhancer. Since the Replace is in a function it should work. -- Dave Hargis, Microsoft Access MVP "Ken Snell (MVP)" wrote: Are you fully patched and updated for your 2000 ACCESS program?
