Access Broken today 10th May 2022

I had a call from one of my users today to say his database was just closing down as he clicked a button.

I got his front and back end files and ran them on a PC with Office 2010, they worked fine, but his Office 365 has been updated today and he has the problem on all his PC's.

I tried the front/backend files on two PC's I have that are running Office 365 and they too have the same issue.

It seems like Microsoft has broken things.

Is anyone else having issues after today's update?

Regards, Dennis

UPDATE: This mentions that the recent Office 365 update fixes problems in Excel, Outlook and Word, what it does not mention is that it broke Access! https://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-365-apps-build-1512820224-resolves-issues-with-excel-outlook-and-word/

UPDATE 2:

I managed to program around the main issue I was having, however I have just seen messages to say Microsoft have fixed it, I just tried the original database and it seems to be working fine. Thanks to everyone who posted their experiences here, it was very helpful.

    Hmm, having the same fun today. Your error look anything like this?

    • Property not found
    • No current record.
    • The search key was not found in any record.
    • The object doesn’t contain the Automation object ‘txtPurchaseOrde.’ (And while that is control on the Form it is not used in the code anywhere. Oh, and yes that is the way it is spelled in the message but not on the Form.)

    Yes, the first three you mention have all been seen by me today!

    I am sure MS have broken things.

    I tried to roll back to an earlier version of Access, but I could not get that to work.

    What lines of code are causing the problem? Have you tried stepping through the code?
