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?

    KeithVatnsdal,

    Okay, I'll give you that BUT I use for more like 12+ hours a day doing all sorts of things and have never had the issue.  So, until the *issue* can be reproduced consistently how can it qualify as an issue that needs to be fixed?

    Scott,

     

    With your Office 365 subscription you also get the Office 2013 Suite which allows you to build desktop applications.  If you are using Access 2013 then you are using the desktop application.  Only if you selected a web database would you be building one in Access 365.  Now, the fact that is was built for you and you ported it over to your machine also means this is a Desktop database.

     

    And yes, Access 365 is web based only.  The other applications allow you to create local copies.  If there is a way to create a local database with Access 365 I have not found... yet!  Summing up, you have a Desktop database and are using Access 2013.

     

    Any clearer now?

    Thanks Gina, you have explained it very well.

    I will keep trying to overcome my problem and let you know if I succeed.

    Scott,

    Can you send me the file?  If you can take out the personal information, zip it up and send it using...

    Gina,

    You have far more knowledge in Access than I do as I've only been using it for a little over a month.  Could I possibly send you a file to look at?  Maybe there's a setting I have set up incorrectly that you could identify?
