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.

    Heinzi - I had an email saying that the MS Office team had fixed this:

    Bug fix is rolling out to customers.

    Please upgrade to the latest Office version to see it,

    Michal [MSFT]

    I got excited and deleted Access 2013 runtime before testing your suggested workaround, thinking that the fix would automatically update onto our Office 365 Access 2016 versions, but it's not fixed. I'll go back to trying your Office 2013 workaround as above. I can't see how to update Office 365 Access 201 to the latest version...

    Sure:

    1. Find the Office 2013 msaccess.exe executable (should be somewhere around C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15).
    2. Right-mouse-button-drag-and-drop it to the Desktop, choose "Create shortcuts here".
    3. Right-mouse-click the shortcut, choose "Properties".
    4. In the target field, add a space and the following text to the end (including the slash and the quotes, but replacing the path and file name with the real one):

    /runtime "C:\Path\to\your\access-database.accdr"

    1. Customize the remainder of the shortcut (caption, icon, etc.) to your liking.
