MS Access 2013 crashes continually on different computers.

Thanks to this blog think might have also sorted out my unstable Access 2013 issues.

On behalf of everyone here *Glad we could help!*...

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?

Hello, I have crashing problems too. I began to create a DB for my business use with access 2013 (365) on a Windows 8.1 machine.

A programmer friend of mine has done 90% of the work on his PC with Access 2007 and I think his OS is XP. Another friend of mine from the IT world has tried it on their PC (Access 2007) no problem.

There is a problem when I try to open five of the forms using the code he has written. The form is designed to open in datasheet view depending on a selection from a combo box. There is no problem on his PC but runs into trouble on my desktop and Ultrabook that has 2013 installed on it too.

The message I get says "Microsoft Access has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution to the problem" Then the next message says "Microsoft Access has stopped working, a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." I'm sure they will lol.

You can rely on the error to occur three out of four times. The time that it doesn't occur and the Form opens the options in a combo box are not available yet they are shown in the Row Source of the property sheet.

Because I'm a novice I deleted some of the code behind these forms and it worked perfectly.

The code was, Option Compare Database

Option Explicit

My friend advised that I replace the code. My problem returned immediately.

I have done a reinstall of the entire suite of MS Office, now I'll try the other suggestions here.
