Access freezes when I copy a record
- I also did that and saw the problem remained
George_Hepworth I am having this same issue over the last few weeks. When I need to update a record (in this case "cut" it to create a different, updated new entry) Access crashes when I "cut" the entry (an entire record). This is a member database with just under 10,000 entries. I have to do CTL-ALT-DEL and stop the program, which has freezed. When I restart it, I can paste the entry as a new entry in the database. Although I've used Access for 20 years, I'm a journalist and have no idea what some of the things you've been saying mean. I DID do "compact & repair" but that did nothing. This is a high end Win11 system. Obviously the most recent update to Access royally screwed something up. If I knew how to restore Access to how it was before the most recent "update" I would. This is very annoying.
Jeff_Berger Have you tried opening and running the program *AS ADMINISTRATOR* rather than running it regularly? This magically fixed the problem for me. Rather than starting it as you usually do, right click on the icon and choose "Run as administrator" - It may be hid under the "More" tab. That's all there was to it.
I'm a journalist, too - so if *I* can do it, anyone can 😉
