KB5002121 breaks MS Access runtime applications

Anonymous

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 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"
