Hi guys.
This has been a very traumatic experience for everyone in the Access world but I can report that the Access Team in Redmond has been working extremely hard to get resolutions for the various supported versions still out there (Unsupported ones didn't suffer from the problem anyway ;-) ).
The following extracts are taken from emails from a member of the team :
Access:
Hi everyone,
We are getting patches out, this is the first available, for Office 2016 MSI installations:
November 18, 2019, update for Office 2016 (KB4484198)
Please let me know if you have any issues, or this doesn’t resolve the issue.
Just to be clear, this won’t help Office 2010 or 2013, for which patches will be following shortly.
For O365 Monthly Channel, or Office 2016 C2R installs, an update will be also be available very soon.
Followed very soon afterwards by :
Access:
Fixes for most everything, including O365, and 2016 C2R will be coming this week.
When the fix for O365/2016C2R are available, you will update using File/Account/Update Options/Update Now from within an Office application.
I'll send another note when new updates become available.
What may be more useful to many out there :
Access:
What’s not there (yet, but will be shortly), is that you can now download the update for O365 Monthly Channel/2016 C2R.
It should update you to 16.0.12130.20390.
So, you may be able to get the update before it's even notified publicly. It's in the works obviously.
