Access doesn't close properly. A remaining background process can only be terminated in task manager
Since yesterday I noticed that in all my Access databases there is a problem when I close them. When I close a database, it leaves a background process that can only be terminated in Task Mana...
- Yes, here also the update available (Europe). Tested en fix the problem. Trusted Location not necessary any more. But I highly recommend it. Otherwise you will have problem starting from April. MS is blocking marcos. Check https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-365-blog/helping-users-stay-safe-blocking-internet-macros-by-default-in/ba-p/3071805
Florian1290 Looks like the issue is resolved!!! I just downloaded Build 14827.20192 and Access is once again functioning correctly. I just hate it when they break the intrinsic functionality of this app. I hope they realize how many people use and rely on this app and are more careful to not break it with their updates. I have over 50 critical apps in my organization and it is quite traumatic when this happens.
- It's an established unofficial rumor that MS was considering to dump Access, or rather wanted to replace it with more profitable programs. But there are simply too many developers using this great tool.
- "Established" meaning some people love to repeat it. "Unofficial" meaning other people made it up to justify their own agenda against Access.
I think there IS some truth to the proposition that Microsoft would rather make more money than less money (...more profitiable...), if possible. But then, that's true of about 99% of businesses in the world. Those that would prefer to be less profitable have other motives.- When you hide the application itself, you need to make sure you can recover without resort to the task manager. Suggest you do ONE of the following
1. Remove the close button on the form or hide the entire control box including the close button
2. Add code to the form On Close event to close the app i.e. Application.Quit
3. Restore the taskbar icon so you have a method of recovery
- "established unofficial rumor" is itself a nonsense statement.
If you understood the meanings of the words "established" and "unofficial", you'd know that.- Agreed. An awful choice of words. I meant to say that the rumor seems (to me) pretty much believed.
