My machine has windows XP and office XP installed on it had a major crash and ended up re-installing the lot. After re-installing Visual studio I found that the lcase, ucase, mid, etc commands no longer work. I receive the error :-complier error:

Format and reinstall again?

This has been done more than once already with still no fix. I even tried Windows 2000 however problem still there.

is it happening in certain programs only or on all programs? I've seen this when there is a bad reference in your project. Compare your project references with those of another machine and make sure that everything is the same - including paths. Do you have a custom ActiveX components that you use in your projects?

Yes i just created a simple prog with this code in :- Me.Caption = LCase("HELLO&quot this worked fine. Have no custom activeX

Hi!

I'm having the same problem.

I reinstalled windows xp but it seems to me that there's something i'm missing in the project.

Could you solve your problem?

UPDATE:

I just realized what was wrong. In Project-> References, I was missing the JMail library (

http://www.dimac.net).

I installed it and voila! The problem disappeared.

I don't think it is related to this particular library but to a bad reference as bjd4jc said.

I too had this problem and discovered that my reference to 'Microsoft CDO for NTS 1.2' was Missing. I looked at another box running XP Pro and found that the cdonts.dll was missing from my box entirely. I copied the dll over and set my reference to point to it and as avatarUY put it...voila.
