MS Access 2013 crashes continually on different computers.

I having increasing problems with Access 2013 crashing.  Even after compacting and repairing the database it crashes all of the time - now it's crashing whenever I try to do a "save as" or when I try to exit.  It's been unstable since I started using it but it seems to be getting worse, and it happens on multiple machines. Anyone have an idea why it's constantly crashing?

    Is *Track name AutoCorrect* unchecked?

    Is *Compact on Close* unchecked?

    Also wanted to point out that this was never an issue in Access 2010.

    Hi Gina,

    That's the weird part.  The entire database is under 10 MB.  The table the query is built off of is only 41 records containing two small text fields, and several numbers and date fields.

    At worst, there is a Group By query...no Crosstabs.

    Hmmm, okay, well that is different!  That suggests to me there is some *heavy* processing going on.  Do the RecordSources for the reports have a lot of calculations?  A large query?  Is it a Crosstab query?

    Ahh, thanks for the clarification. :)

    Perhaps "crash" isn't the correct word.  It's more like Access hangs (freezes...goes in to "Not responding" mode) waits a bit of time, and then "unfreezes" and resumes operation.  This could happen on even simple operations like executing a simple select query.

    Thanks for the suggestions, I really appreciate them!

    Cheers,
