Issue:

After installing Office 2010 SP1, you may receive random crashes when opening objects in certain databases and when trying to open the VBA window in those databases.  If you look in the event viewer the crash info may look similar to the following:

Faulting application: msaccess.exe

Version: 14.0.6024.1000

Stamp: 4d83e4fc

faulting module: vbe7.dll

version: 7.0.16.19

stamp: 4d430aec

Workaround:

UPDATE: Microsoft is aware of the issue and has scheduled a fix to the VBE7.dll in the October 2011 Cumulative Update.  You can workaround the issue by performing the following steps to decompile and recompile the database.

1.      Make a copy / backup of your database.

2.      On the problematic machine decompile the database by running the following from a Run command line:  <path to database file> /decompile ex. C:\test.accdb  /decompile

3.      Close the database.

4.      Open the database again normally.

In addition to this, if you experience the crash please send the error report when prompted to do so after the crash.

    Does Microsoft have an update/ETA for the SP1 fix with Access 2010 and the compile problems?

    hi Bill

    I posted a request for info on Decompiling - then went trolling through this thread as I too have had issues with crashing BDs.

    your version of the decompile command has the /decompile after the MSACCESS.EXE and before the accdb file name

    i always put it at the end when decompiling in MSA2003.

    anyway I cant seem to get my command to work. (like your version)

    i have a BAT file with the line . .

    "C:\Program Files (86)\MSO2010\Office14\MSACCESS.EXE" /decompile "C:\KINETIC\KC_FRM20110911.accdb"

    when i double click on it a small window flashes on the screen but is gone before i see what it was.

    i assume the data base should open after the decompile - as it did in 2003. - doesnt happen

    if you have a fix then i can close the other post.

    im still new to using post here so not sure how to refer to the other post .

    cheers

    Hi paulg11:

    Using your files, here's what I have been using:

    C:\KINETIC\KC_FRM20110911.accdb /decompile

    Try it in a Command window first, just to see if it's working correctly. You are correct, after the decompile the database should open.

    Once I do a decompile and find that it works, I have gotten into the habit of making a dated copy of the file, just in case the next problem and decompile is not successful for some reason.

    Good luck.
