    Implement a Global Error Handler to build a rock-solid application.

    Hah, I logged in this morning to ask a question about this. I've imported and been using the global handler from Northwind, and it works great except one small issue: The first error that triggers the handler is not fully captured. The secondary data in the error system such as...

    Solved Odd error in my database

    Well the issue has resolved itself with the latest MS patch. Now if they can manage to not break Access for a few months maybe I can rebuild confidence in my users.

    Solved Odd error in my database

    I was following your discussion. I think your are correct and this whole thing comes back to those patches, but unfortunately I can't roll them back or do hotfix patches (if one is available). I have to wait for the full corrected patch to work its way down to my users.

    Solved Odd error in my database

    Let me preface this with: I work in a government agency, where people can get away with amazingly bad behavior. /Rant On Regarding dropping Access. It is likely that I won't be given a say in the matter. As we all know, IT teams often hate Access and would like nothing better than to see it...

    Solved Odd error in my database

    At this point I couldn't rule anything out. I am waiting for the patch on 8/2 with crossed fingers. If it doesn't fix this issue for me I'm not sure what will happen next. Right now I have actual decision makers who are questioning whether or not we should dump Access entirely since Microsoft...

    Solved Odd error in my database

    Hardware is a mix across the user base. Mostly Dell laptops, but a few others and even a couple of Macs. The RD software is Citrix Workspace, and I've verified that we have functional and non-functional people using the same versions.

    Solved Odd error in my database

    All users are logging into the MyPC/Citrix environment supposedly under the same conditions. There are zero errors identified at login. There are zero compile/debug errors found. Once they are logged in and try to start the database, they see a flickering then a crash/shutdown. Nothing is...

    Solved Odd error in my database

    Correct me if I'm wrong here. I am checking two values...the version of the dB file at creation and the current operating version of Access: CurrentProject.FileFormat yields a result of 12, which is the Access 2007-2019 .accdb file format Application.Version yields a result of 16.0, so Access...

    Solved Odd error in my database

    What throws me about this is that so far only this singular Access file is misbehaving, and if it was the accde update....why is it just three users instead of everyone?

    Solved Odd error in my database

    That's the fun part. All users are operating off of a single remote desktop system, so we all have exactly the same updates and software, environmental conditions, etc. Now, people can log in from personal machines, work laptops, etc. The company doesn't care since they go into the encrypted...

    Solved Odd error in my database

    Thanks, yeah I've tried the file in several locations (all trusted). It seems like this must have something to do with the recent bug introduced by Microsoft, and yet at the same time since it is a common remote desktop setting and only a few people are impacted, it seems like it can't be that...

    Solved Odd error in my database

    Yup, identical systems. Build 5317 32 bit. I also checked the file version...12 which is Access 2016, which is the current version everyone uses.

    Solved Odd error in my database

    Unfortunately I can't even get into the DEP menu without IT support, so I'm waiting on them. I did find something more though: the accdb runs fine...only the accde crashes. Code tracing found no errors, simply being compiled into accde kills it.

    Solved Odd error in my database

    Howdy folks. I'm seeing an odd issue in a database I've had deployed for years and hope someone here might have a stroke of brilliance for me. The database is a few years old and has been running smoothly. It is an Access 2016 file, compiled to accde. All users have the same version of...

    Found it. Turns out it was MZ-Tools, Personal Settings, Open Documents Autosaving

    Access and IDE (Not Forms/Reports) Autosaving

    Nope, no forms or timers. This is somehow embedded, similar to autosave in Word

    Access and IDE (Not Forms/Reports) Autosaving

    So, doing some maintenance on my dB a couple of weeks ago. This involved taking the dev file to a couple of different computers and opening it in 2010, 2013, and 2019. Everything is functioning fine, except Access is now trying to do a full save every few minutes. Not a record save through a...

    Synchronise data with external source

    Thanks for your continued efforts, as always they are very illuminating. I'm working on CSV imports, but as part of the process some of the data points have to be reformatted. Despite typecasting efforts, some values will occasionally pop in wrong. Should the converting be done within the...
