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?

Hello All,
Is there a fix for Win 7? I have a user that is experiencing this on Win 7.
Thanks,

For Access 2013 there is an update to fix the problem?
Not yet. This page Error when trying to open an ACCDE/MDE file created in a different version of Access (microsoft.com) will have information about the fix for each version and channel.

That Microsoft should have tested more, I won't dispute. But the rest of what I said holds a lot of water.
Hey All,
Having the same issue and all users are using Office 365 apps. We have now narrowed down the issue to be with any user using Microsoft 365 Apps for Business as the Enterprise version is working. I have tested this on a spare laptop to confirm our findings. I'm not sure what the difference is between the two but MS Access is working for the user using Microsoft 365 Apps for Enterprise.
Now we just need a fix for the Microsoft 365 Apps for Business users as upgrading for us is not the greatest solution.
