I had the same problem. I seem to have the problem on my laptop and yet not
on the desktop, and I cannot find utility.mda on the desktop. It almost seems
that simply unchecking 'Missing: Utility.mda' stops Access for trying to use
it, and the code and query run. Then the next time I looked 'Missing:
Utility.mda' is no longer listed under references.

I have utility.mda in my C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 97\Office folder.
But when I point to it I get the message 'Can't add a reference to the
specified file'. I vaguely remember utility.mda in Access 2.0 modules, but I
am not sure I used anything from it.

If I try to open utility.mda I get the option to use database enhancements,
but I get the message 'You can't convert or anable an MDE file.'

I first encountered the problem when I was running a query that uses mid()
in some VB code and it said a project or library was not loaded. I can also
not run a query that uses trim().

I am not specifically using anything from utility.mda that I am aware of.

Time will tell if the problem recurs, but for now it seems to be sorted out.
