My boss just updated my slow old computer with a fast new
computer...with Vista operating system. We immediately checked out
our visual basic code written under windows 2000, and the macros are
behaving differently. What I need to know is if we just need to
change some settings somewhere. Or would it be better to request
windows 2000 to be loaded onto this new computer?

Anyway, the modules are acting as though I've declared Option Explicit
(I have not). I get an error message for every undeclared variable.
I checked the Tools...Options menu and and the check box for Require
Variable Declaration is not selected. Declaring variables is not that
big a problem, although I'd like to know what is happening here.

The bigger problem so far is that many functions just don't work
anymore, the computer doesn't recognize them. Left( ) doesn't work.
FormatDateTime( ), MonthName( )...the list goes on. I can get around
some by using application.worksheetfunction.left( ) etc. Is there a
library of some sort I need to load? Does someone out there know what
the deal is? Thanks so much.
