Recommended: Excellent MS Access TreeView Control by Marcus Dieterle
Hi everyone, I just wanted to share an amazing resource I found for anyone looking to modernise their MS Access applications. The TreeView control developed by Marcus Dieterle (DIETERLE programmierung) is absolutely top-tier! If you are tired of dealing with the constant compatibility headaches, crashes, and bitness issues (32-bit vs 64-bit) of the traditional Microsoft ActiveX TreeView, this is the ultimate alternative. It looks modern, runs incredibly smooth, and is beautifully documented.Highly recommended for anyone trying to take their Access GUI to the next level.

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a way to move away from the native Access VBE and start using Visual Studio Code as my primary text editor. I mostly want to leverage its modern features like Dark Mode, multi-cursors, and better shortcuts. During my research, I came across the "Access Explorer" extension, which claims to let you "Explore and edit Microsoft Access databases (.accdb / .mdb) directly from VS Code". Before I risk running this on any live database, I wanted to ask the community: How stable is it? Does it work well for daily development? Is there any risk of database corruption when it saves and injects the edited code back into the .accdb file? How does it handle form/report class modules (Form_FormName), or is it only reliable for standard modules (.bas)? If you have used this extension or have a smooth alternative workflow to read/write code directly between VS Code and Access without manual copy-pasting, I would love to hear your thoughts!
SMS can't be send to complete my Microsoft login account
After entering my Microsoft account username and password (which are accepted), I should be able to have an SMS code sent to the registered number. Instead, a red error message appears saying "Verify your identity. We're sorry, we're having trouble verifying your account. Please try again. View details. Send a text message to +XXXX XXXXX01. More information. Are your verification methods up to date? Check at https://aka.ms/mfasetup," and it does not allow me to use any other method to complete authentication. Is there a way to get in?
Locked out of Microsoft 365 Business Tenant
I am the sole global admin for my Microsoft 365 Business tenant and I have been completely locked out due to an MFA issue. I cannot access the admin portal, cannot reset MFA, and cannot verify my identity through the automated system. When I call Microsoft support, the automated system incorrectly states that I am not a global admin and immediately disconnects. All UK support numbers (0800 026 0329, 0344 800 6006, etc.) hang up instantly before reaching an agent. No callbacks have been received despite multiple requests. I now have an open case with the Data Protection team: Microsoft 365 Data Protection – TrackingID#2609030040002192 This situation has caused: Business disruption Financial loss Inability to manage users or services Customer service impact Complete loss of administrative control over our tenant I urgently need escalation to the Data Protection team for identity verification and MFA reset. The normal support channels are not functioning, and I cannot reach a human through any published phone number. Any assistance or escalation from Microsoft moderators or engineers would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Blocked out of my email
Cannot sign in to email after travelling. I have sent off over 10 account recovery forms with no replies back. My old mobile number is linked to the account so I cannot get a text verification, I also rang the old number and they are not willing to help. And it is so hard to speak to a real person from Microsoft to fix this, I managed to get an agent once and they tell me to fill out another form which clearly is getting me nowhere.
Inconsistent behaviour of AccessRuntime and Access (Developer Version) - Office 365
I am using Access Version 2608 (Build 20326.20132) and I am having big problems because of a differnt behaviour of Runtime and Full (same version). When setting a short timer (for initialisation / 10ms) within the Form_Load event, the timer starts in the "Full-Version" of Access365 immediatly after finishing the Form_Load event (not further action in the other events). The Runtime-Versions don't accept the Timer-Value I set befor in the Form_Load event. Remark: With an old version (I don't know which one, because all customer PC were updated) it works perfekt, also with AccessRuntime. A very old customer installation (16.0.18827.20164) works perfekt. What can I do, because the application is broken down at many customer sites ... and I have to solve this problem very urgent.
Print to PDF and crashing issue - Access Version 2607 and 2608
Multiple customers are reporting crashing and print to pdf issues after updateing to Access version 2607 and 2608. Versions with the issue: Version 2607 (Build 16.0.20228.20190), Version 2608 (Build 16.0.20326.20072), and Version 2608 (Build 16.0.20326.20100) Working version is version 2606 (Build 16.0.20131.20154), rolling back to this will resolve these issues. Crashing (Build 16.0.20326.20022) Some users reported that crashes occur shortly after opening the Access application. Here is the event log error. Faulting application name: msaccess.exe, version: 16.0.20326.20100, time stamp: 0x6a83d187 Faulting module name: unknown, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x00000000 Exception code: 0xc0000409 Fault offset: 0x00007ffb274a628f Faulting process id: 0x5BF8 Faulting application start time: 0x1DD2FF382F4BC5A Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\msaccess.exe Faulting module path: unknown Report Id: a6329f20-3c01-439f-a152-a7cdb6ef74b4 Faulting package full name: Faulting package-relative application ID: PDF not formatting correctly (Build 16.0.20228.20190 and Build 16.0.20326.20072) Exporting the Access report to PDF will cause the following issues. When exporting a multi-page report as PDF, the second page displays at a quarter of its original size. Some users experience the right margin being slightly larger, causing the right size to be cut off. Some text on the report are changed to a different font type and size after exporting PDF. Form textbox, label and buttons display properties are changed after previewing a report (Replicated on Build 16.0.20228.20190) After closing the print preview of a report, the Access form's textbox, label and buttons are not displayed correctly. Some text are not visible, background color seems to have changed, font type are different as well. The Access application is required to be closed and reopen to fix the issue.
