Access Programming/VBA Question

First, let me preface by saying that I do know Access 97 is severly outdated.
My client is just now switching their main accounting application from a DOS
based to Windows based, and Access too will be upgraded.  The machines in
question all have Windows XP Pro, Access 97.  I have coded changes on one
machine and got them working properly.  I copy the database over to two other
machines.  When I attempt to run, I get one error that says "COmpile error in
hidden module:  zasDevelopment" (zasDevelopment may be unique to the
application.  I get another error that isn't recognizing VB formatting
functions (like Mid).  When I run the exact same database on my machine it
works.  When I run a pre-change copy of the database on the two new machines,
things work.  It's only when I attempt to run my changes that I get the error.

Any ideas?  (Besides upgrade Access)

On the machines where it doesn't work, have you checked the References
window (in the Code window, Tools menu-->References).  Most likely something
will be showing as "Missing".

Don't upgrade, Access 97 is just fine (Access 2000, 2002 and 2003 are really
just Access 97 with a paint job).

Check the References on the other machines (VBA window -
Tools - References).  They are probably missing a library or
possibly have the wrong version of the right library.

While you're in there double check your machine's copy of
the database to make sure you are not referencing any
libraries unnecessarily.
