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?

2022-07-13T21:56:28+00:00 hi,
another way to fix is to install Access 365 Runtime instead of Access 2016 runtime or Access 2013 Runtime. with my accde it works for me
bye

2022-07-13T21:45:00+00:00 Again, duly noted with regards to the MDE to ACCDE conversion. However, today I have hundreds of customers and I'm extremely concerned tomorrow will be a full day of uninstalling KB5002121 - a repeat of the November 2019 "3340 Query is corrupt" support nightmare. Please, Microsoft, correct this today.

There are several advantages to ACCDEs,, so I would really recommend updating.
