VBA

That error should not happen when you make a brand new database. If you are seeing it right away, it usually means there is something wrong with your Access installation, not the database itself. The first thing I would try is doing a repair of Office from the Control Panel. If that does not fix it, you might need to completely remove Office and reinstall it, since sometimes older versions or corrupted installs can leave things behind.

Is this a brand new computer, or have you had Office on it for a while? Sometimes the history of installs makes a difference. I give my students a full troubleshooting checklist for problems like this, but in short the big steps are: repair, reinstall, and make sure you are up to date with the latest patches. If none of that works, then start looking deeper.

Or just buy a new machine. LOL. JK.
