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?

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
We noted that issues persisted with the previously stated updates (KB5002121, KB5002112) and another one I haven't seen in here KB5002048.
I have the same issue as others here. There are about 50 client users and our IT group Update policy has only affected a few users so far. I am sure more will be complaining soon. I am in a very large global corporation....I doubt the IT group will agree to roll back the Update.
I tried the Autoexec Macro but got the same error in my situation.
I tried the simple startup form with only a button to open the desired Login form. This works as long as I wait ~4-8 seconds before clicking on the button. ughhh. I tried a timer to force 7 second delay, but Runtime with ACCDE can't seem to handle the Timer.
If I use an uncompiled ACCDB file with Runtime it does ok. But I am concerns some users with Full Dvp Access can get to the VBA code and/or backend data via linked tables behind the Frontend. I have disabled the Special Access Keys, but not sure that is very secure. Any comments on that?
Thank you!! Denis
Hi Shane,
does v2206 ( build 15330.20266 ) also have this bug?
No, per Error when trying to open an ACCDE/MDE file created in a different version of Access (microsoft.com), the fix is in build 15330.20264, so 15330.20266 should also work.

Hello All,
Is there a fix for Win 7? I have a user that is experiencing this on Win 7.
See Error when trying to open an ACCDE/MDE file created in a different version of Access (microsoft.com). Look for "Microsoft 365 Apps on Windows 7"
