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.

    I constantlly make backups for during the day. For example in a folder 2003 March

    13 A Acc2010.accdb

    13 B Acc2010.accdb

    13 C Acc2010.accdb

    14 A Acc2010.accdb

    ect...

    At the first sign of trouble, slow resoponse or the 1st of the month.

    Create a new blank Accdb

    Import all objects from the exiting project development

    Reset any object preference, startup form. and other options.

    This will re-set any counters (auto counters) in tables.

    The repair db often did not fix the problem.

    This method always has worked for me.

    My problems with crashes sort'a vanished and I have no idea why. I keep most of my data in separate databases, linking the data to databases containing the forms.

    Fortunately, none of the crashes destroyed data and I was able to restore most of the forms and reports from backups and prior versions after doing updates and hotfixes. After that, the problems disappeared.

    I have a program in Windows 7, Access 2010, that when you go from form view to data view, Access crashes. I cannot uninstall SP1 (even with the tool). I have tried every thing on this thread to no avail. Any ideas?
