Hi,
I am part of a development team that has an application written in access / vba (access runtime 2000) in production and without installing any updates on some machines, with the Windows 10/11 operating system, the program no longer starts.
Searching the internet, we found this article:
Could the problem be related to this update?
We tried following the guidelines to get it back up and running but couldn't fix it.
Has anyone faced and solved any similar problem?
Thanks for any help.

Salve,
faccio parte di un team di sviluppo che ha in produzione un'applicazione scritta in access / vba (access runtime 2000) e senza l'installazione di nessun aggiornamento su alcune macchine, con sistema operativo Windows 10/11, il programma non parte più.
Eseguendo delle ricerche su internet abbiamo trovato questo articolo:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/DeployOffice/security/internet-macros-blocked#use-policies-to-mana...
Il problema potrebbe essere collegato a questo aggiornamento?
Abbiamo provato ad seguire le linee guida per ripristinare il funzionamento ma non siamo riusciti a risolvere.
Qualcuno ha affrontato e risolto qualche problema simile?
Grazie per un eventuale aiuto.

Because you have an existing mdb and did not download it from internet, it is not likely that the problem is related to the new macro blocking policy.
However, you are still running Access runtime 2000? Is that correct?

Thanks for your answer.
What I understood is that the VBA code is blocked.
In fact, even creating a word 2000 file with a simple open event, word crashes during opening.
Private Sub Document_Open()

End Sub

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, a colleague of mine tried translating the project from adp to accdb but failed.
I don't know what to try anymore or who to ask.
Do you have any idea?
Thank you

@Stratus78 You might want to try just upgrading in increments. I understand your pain with ADP. I have an ADP program that needs to be converted as well, but it can be a monumental task. Try upgrading it to an Access 2003 ADP file. That is the last version that supported ADP if memory serves. But you can run ADPs all the way up to Office 2010... Right now I have a VM running Window 10 with Office 2010 running an ADP application and its working fine... but remember they stopped supporting ADP in I believe SQL Server 2008, though you could try running it on newer versions in compatibility mode. Good Luck...
