Access Releases 7 Issue Fixes in Version 2311 (Released November 25th, 2023)
I implemented my workaround on the full application and was disappointed to find that it avoided the crashing, but would still not navigate local files.
My solution depends upon the Form_Load event using the Navigate event to open a local blank html file (specified at runtime). It will then navigate other local files.
However I have now discovered that if I apply or remove a filter on the form, the web control "resets" to about:blank. Once this has happened, the control will no longer navigate local files.
This problem does not occur if the ControlSource is set to the path of a local file at design time. However it is not possible to anticipate the path of a local file in a production environment at design time and it does not appear to be possible to set the ControlSource from VBA at runtime.
Shane Groff its there a workaround available for setting the ControlSource at runtime?
