MicrosoftBig problem with resize of various forms after Update.
Seems changes also in event sequence, so subform not accessible at point in open sequece as before.
Seeme we need to inform all our customers world wide not to do this update.
On form open you can now see subforn, pictuer first in small size, then after a few seconds adjusting.to normal size.
Hourglas stand longer than before.
Big problem for our application
Please provide details, and if possible, supply an accdb demonstrating the problems.
You have responded to a blog regarding Version 2606 (Build 16.0.20131). Please confirm that is the build which displays this reported problem in your environment.
Please describe the runtime environment for your users as well. e.g. are they running the full Access application or the runtime with your database application.
Thank you.
Hello George_Hepworth,
meanwhile I did some investigation and found the cause is the combination of this office 2606 version and the HP with AMD processor.
Before Office Update behaviour was normal.
I could compare to an older surface. Using the same accde file from repository on both computers (both with full version started with /runtime). On surface behaviour is as usual.
I made short videos and embeded them into a power point with comments.
Error happens, when "Me.painting = false". Seems on the AMD at that point the subform isn't available. However on the surface it is. Code section is over a long time as it is. Version of accde is from February 2026.
Very starnge.
Hope you can watch the pptx. It is in a public folder on our web-site

AMD unexpected sizes
suface usual sizes
If you do this, it goes back a version or two and solvers the problem. Have a hundred users with different desktops,runtime and full. All have the problem on the latest update.

Dear Brepp
Thank you for the hint. Unfortunately our system is running in several companies as department (sub)system. International companies where is is very painful to convince them to arrange special handling for a few of their computers. We had this with other bugs two times in more than 20 years of business.
In total world wide we talk about 1.000 computers.
Can you confirm, the problem is depending on computer hardware Intel versus AMD? When I look on start of our system on AMD temporarily the size of start form and a picture is shown (I guss in native resolution) and later turns to normal size (125% recommended scale). This is with same office version and same accde file not happening (at least not visible) on the surface with Intel.
Involving a Access standard sub form in datagrid view works on Intel, but not on AMD.

There are a variety of chips but did confirm, problem occurs on Intel, AMD and Xeon. Fortunately, the last time this happened for us (an MS update trashing Access app) was several years ago. Still though, a royal pain. as you no doubt are feeling.
The revert routine PLUS turning off Office updates was our solution back then and now. Several months later, a test revealed it was ok to start getting the latest office updates agian.
