Preview report out of memory error with Access Version 2609 (Build 20430.20092)

We have multiple customers reporting issues with latest Access version 2609 Build 20430.20092 when previewing reports. 

(2004) There isn't enough memory to perform this operation. Close unneeded programs and try the operation again.

This error seems to occur right when we preview a report and the report will not open. At the moment, we have been rolling Office back to version 2608 to resolve the issue.

    I have the same problem, but it only appears to effect databases with the .accdr extension.
    Identical database but with .accdb works ok.

  • Hi,

    There have been several reports about this for version 2609 in the last 10 days, e.g. on Q&A. 

    This looks like a recurrence of an older problem. According to one report the old workaround from back then also helped in his case:

    If you open a second (dummy) report before previewing a report the error should not occur.

    An MVP colleague informed Microsoft about the problem today. If I hear any updates, I’ll share them here.

    Servus
    Karl
