I just had a lengthy support call with a client. My MS Access (mde) file would not open. Received the message: "The expression on open you entered as the event property setting produced the following error. Requested type library or wizard is not a VBA project." I uploaded the uncompiled (mdb) file and that one ran fine. I tried creating a new mde file but it too would not run. After much head scratching, I check the latest updates and saw the following update installed today: Security Update to Microsoft Office 2013 (KB5002121) 32-bit Edition
After uninstalling the update the application ran perfectly fine. I have no other conclusion than this update caused it not to run. My client has temporarily turned off the automatic updates. Can anyone else confirm this issue?

hi,
I had the same behavior, I solved it by uninstalling the Kb5002121 for Access 2013 and KB5002112 for Access 2016

The Access product team is investigating this issue. Thank you for the report, we will update soon.

Sorry Scottgem, doesn't hold water. For something as fundamental as that error (mde/accde not being able to run) Microsoft should be putting in more testing. The cost to us, in terms of assisting clients, and the cost to our clients in terms of down-time is way beyond any benefit that the update would have given us. Please don't release software that doesn't work!
I have a client that utilizes .accde files that is also experiencing errors after this update.

SEVERAL users of our Access RT application experiencing the same problems.
Have spent all day fielding customer support emails and remote support to help uninstall and reinstall Office. ALL versions of Access needed to be uninstalled/reinstalled - RT, Full or 365.
