Appcrash Access / VBA
this is not the case because i run an adp with the connection to Sql Server using access runtime 2000.
So no file conversion took place.
In fact, as I said before, even if I simply open a Word 2000 file, the program crash.
Thank you
do you have access installed on the computer you want to run this db?
if you have which version?
you can also google of what version of MS Office will run on Windows 10/11.
- HI,
the crash occurred on a development machine where I routinely test the application after changes.
After restarting the computer, the program stopped running.
Same thing happened on 2 other computers.
On all 3 computers we had windows updates blocked and suddenly it stopped working first on 2 machines with windows 10 and then on another machine with windows 11.
Thanks for your help.Unfortunately, you seem to be running into the problem of trying to use 20+ year old software on a new generation of Operating Systems. You note that the problem appeared on computers running Windows 10 and 11. Check the compatibility references for Windows 10 and 11. Does that documentation mention specific versions of Office which are or are not supported? Does it indicate that Office 2000 is supported?
It's hard to see how to help, given the circumstances.
I understand that there is an adp involved and they are highly version sensitive, which was one of the factors in deprecating them, IIRC. That also means you are committed to maintaining the environment, i.e. the operating system, which supports them. Or you must upgrade to a version of the Office applications which are supported on Windows 10 and 11.
I would be interested to learn of the results of your due diligence search for documentation that indicates Office 2000 is, or is not, supported on Windows 10 and 11.
- HI,
searching the internet I found this article talking about vba script blocking from February 2023:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/DeployOffice/security/internet-macros-blocked#use-policies-to-manage-how-office-handles-macros
However, it is not clear whether it refers only to documents / office files from the internet or even those already present on computers.
Running all the possible solutions mentioned could not solve the problem.
Do you have any other ideas. I've been working on it since Wednesday.
Thanks for your help.
