After updating Access in Office 365 to version 2408, the MSACCESS.EXE process remains after exiting Access.

After applying the quality update for the latest channel (preview version) of Microsoft Access (64-bit), version 2408 (build 17928.20066) dated 8/14, the MSACCESS.EXE process won't end even after closing Microsoft Access application.

The reproduction steps are as follows:

  1. Create a form named Form1.
  2. On Form1, create a command button named Command1.
  3. In the Click event of Command1, write "Application.Quit".

Run the application, click Command1 on Form1 to close the application. Afterward, when you check the Task Manager, MSACCESS.EXE process won't end.

This issue does not occur in the 32-bit version. I believe this is a bug. Can you advise where I should report this?

Rolling back to version 2407 resolved this issue.

    Hi,

    I just downloaded the new build from today and updated the status in our documenting AFo article to this text:

    Microsoft planned a fix for the Current Channel for Patch Tuesday, Sep 10. The update is version 2408 build 17928.20156*. If you do not receive it automatically, you can retrieve it by choosing* Update Now on File - Account*. If you were affected by the bug, please let us know if the update fixes the problems for you.*

    Thank you, I'll check the Excel reports.

    However, today I started rolling back to version 2407 (16.0.17830.20138). Withe the exception of one PC, problems were corrected in the few others I had fixed on Sunday. So, this is new but seems that it works.

    Not only does this affect Access, but any Excel files opened by Access won't terminate either. If I open an Excel file by double click, it seems to shut down fine, but my Access generated Excel reports don't. I have to say this is quite impacting to my work. I've written a script to terminate both, but the hanging is affecting my data transfers. I will be happy when this is corrected. Hey Microsoft Folks, I know bugs get through sometimes, but please, test your updates a little more thoroughly, will you?
