Access crashes when query results are copied.

I having a strange and annoying problem where Access crashes when the
user copies (to the clipboard) the results of a query. The message is
not very helpful. It simply says - "Microsoft Access has encountered
a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvienience" .

The MDB is the front-end portion of an Access application. Most of
the tables are linked to the back end. Including the tables used to
generate the query in question. There are a couple of local tables
that have user preferences. Most of the queries that the users run
use the query by form technique. Overall the application is pretty
simple.

Some of the users have been using the same copy of the front-end. My
theory is that this is causing the front-end to become corrupt. I am
hoping that this problem will go away if all users use there own copy
of the front-end. Has anyone seen this problem? Any help or
suggestions would be appreciated. One quirk is that the error does
not occur consistently on everyone's PC, even if they are using the
same copy of the front-end.

In almost every case where I have encountered this error in A2002, it is
because a variable or function has been created that is the same as the name
of:

1. an Access reserved word
2. another variable or function

A definate no-no. Also, have you implemented the changes detailed here?

Stop me if you've heard this, but I am running Access 2002 and all of a sudden, if I design a particular form (it's been working fine for ages), Access crashes rather than open it in design view. Interestingly, it doesn't crash if I run the app and open it in form view! Just if I attempt to design it. If I compact/repair, it allows me to design the form once. On any subsequent attempts to view in design mode, though, it crashes before...

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,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
