An Access Program No Longer Responds after MS Tech Changed Registry
Here's a screenshot of the Compile Action. Do this and see what errors are raised.
Also check the references in the VBA.
George Hepworth Thanks for your responses George. After I got over being so pissed-off at the MS tech (which took me about an hour), I did some checking. What I found was that he apparently reset the registry settings for the Access Trust Center. Since the folder where our program operates was no longer trusted, nothing worked. I restored the "Trusted Locations" and some other settings there and the program again works correctly.
BTW, the reason I had to contact MS in the first place was a bad MS update that apparently hosed Access. This is the second time since November that MS has issued a bad Access update that impacted our https://geotech.com/products/envirodata program and our clients.
While I'm happy to hear you resolved the immediate problem, I'm still disappointed in that MS Tech's actions. I can't imagine why anyone would even think that disabling Trusted Locations would help anything. It's intended to be a security measure to restrict access to potentially unsafe documents!
The updates that have been causing so many recent problems are a significant concern to a lot of people. Sad to say, it's one reason so many developers are casting their eyes around for potential non-Microsoft solutions.
