Access 2016 accde "DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, , acFormatPDF..." crashes after 10 minutes

Create PDF in accdb is no problem.

Create PDF in accde crashes after 10 minutes.

Command: DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, , acFormatPDF, strOutputFile, False, , , acExportQualityPrint

At first the DoCmd.OutputTo method runs fine.

But if you do 10 minutes nothing (only opened) and then you try to run DoCmd.OutputTo again, access crashes without error.

It seems like a timer-problem, but there is no timer.

Only by acFormatPDF and only with accde. In a accdb-file all is fine.

It is not a problem of the PDF-Software. I checked several PDF-Software-Products. Additional: Parameter Autostart is false.

So the PDF-Software should do no matter.

It is not a Problem of anti-virus-Software. I checked it also without any anti-virus-Software.

    Hi Fukiko,

    I went out to the article you provided a link to.  Did someone in the link solve the problem?   If so, could you kindly tell me the date of the post that has the solution present? 

    Thank you so much for taking the time to respond.

    Hi Radney.

    This problem has not been resolved.  I am too busy on other projects to do any testing to confirm whether some patch trickled in for the Volume License version.   See my Sept 20, 2016 entry where I indicate the problem is not resolved.

    Others are mentioning the need for a patch applied to the runtime version of MS Access. 

    I do not think this problem is resolved.

    Thank you. This list only contains entries for the full version of Access 2016, is there a similar one for Access 2016 Runtime?

    And does any of these updates fix the problem described in this thread? 

    Thanks, best regards
