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 don't know why but I haven't had a reoccurence of this problem in a couple of months, and I never did uninstall SP1. I update code in one or more apps every day.

    On the other hand, I've had other apps crash out of the blue, such as SSMS, Outlook, Word, etc. And usually when I'm not even in them. Maybe the error metastasized?

    Hi

    For Windows 7, select Programs and Features...

    Click on Installed updates on the left hand side

    If you have SP1 installed, it should appear on this list.

    Alternatively, again from the control panel...

    select Window update

    If you haven't installed SP1 it will still be listed as an important update available.

    Cheers

    hi

    solved the decompile issue . . typo in command - ommited the "x" infront of the 86

    right royal butt-kick required . .

    but another thought . . the above posts are all about MSA2010 sp1 . . but my big perfoemance woes are on a machine running MSA2007+SP1

    would there be any correlation betwen the 2 updates ???

    I also have automatic updates set on my PCs . .  looking at help i can see the version number but no mention of SP1 on my home MSA2010 pc

    if SP1 has been installed via update - how can i check??

    cheers
