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.

    Servus Karl,

    JA, es sind noch viele schwerwiegende Bugs enthalten. Bugs, die das Laufen einer Access-App unmöglich machen.

    Hatten wir auch schon vor einigen Jahren, jetzt wieder:
    Unerklärliche Fehlermeldungen an diversen Stellen: "... Mehr Datenbanken können nicht geöffnet werden".
    Hat nichts mit nicht geschlossenen Recordsets zu tun, meine App läuft seit 10 Jahren stabil.

    My data base has had quite a few problems with the latest MS Office Version. Tables not being able to be written to due to open already when they are not. Closing the data base I get error that I'm trying to open the data base that's already open. The shift key plus open does not work. Sometimes it will not open at all. until I go in the Task Manager and close all processes still running. I cannot roll back here so I am stuck until MS fixes the bug!

    Everyone,

    If you're not aware, Office365 software has a series of update channels for new features and bug fixes. The most common and bug-prone being the default: Current Channel. If your company is on this channel you get the latest features, and the latest bugs.

    Instead of rolling back to another version, consider changing your update band to Semi-Annual Enterprise. Reasons why:

    1. You will only get updates that have been vetted for six months already.
    2. Your mission critical application is not subject to bugs that easily make it in to the current channel

    For instructions on how to change the channel please refer to this blog post:

    Seeing the same problem in my company. It seems to have started on Wednesday this week. I have about 40 users, some on Win10, some Win11, and some also on Windows Server 2016. Running Office 365. MSACCESS.EXE does not drop from Task Manager after closing the window. Users are all using personal copies of a FE that has not changed in months.

    I have confirmed with multiple users that they have the FE file location in their Trusted Locations, along with C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16. This does not fix the problem.

    This cascades to other errors because next day the user starts a new window for Access, then opens the same FE file, and now some tables are locked, files are in use, etc. and my users swear that the error messages are wrong. Once we close all the Access tasks and start over, everything works again.
