MS Access Project Explorer showing New Icon and Crashing with Errors

Gordon Sanderson

I have been working with for two days on a database with no
problems(changi ng forms and adding code to the forms and a module).
Shut down last night was fine, with no errors generated.

This morning, I opened the database and I started getting the dialog
"MSACCESS.e xe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You
will need to restart the program. An error log is being created."
with an OK button. Access shuts down.

If I open the database again, and click on my first form that pops up,
I get the error. If I don't click the form, I can access the Access
menus, however.

If I go to the VBA code, I can view code for all my forms. I can
enter new code (ie comments), but once I enter the built-in function
MsgBox( the error occurs again. I can enter user-made functions
without incident.

I notice that a new icon is in the Project Explorer. It looks like a
form, but clicking it causes an error. The icon looks like the logo
from a printout. It looks like a small sheet of paper with blue
border and blue horizontal lines with the top right corner turned down
and a bit of light blue on the top right corner.

This icon is different from the form icons, and it located right under
the form icons but before the Modules. I have a form named
Form_frmPricing Report. This new icon has the name frmPricingRepor t.
Obviously, they are somehow connected, but I don't know how.

I have tried to compact and repair the database several times with no
change. I have tried to use the /decompile hack, to no avail (when I
run this through a batch program, the database starts and immediately
gives me the error message above.)

Also, when I attempt Debug > Compile in VBA I get the error.

Any ideas as to what the new icon is and how to rescue the database?

Thanks,
Gordon Sanderson

Please disregard the following message. If anyone knows what that
symbol means in front of my form, I'd like to know, however. I did not
find the answer to repairing the database, but I copied the updated
forms and code to a backup copy of the database. The new database and
forms are working fine now.

Thanks,

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
