Access Query Finding Old/Deleted Data
I have replaced several outdated tables in an Access database recently with updated versions. The issue that is now occurring is that my queries are pulling the old data that doesn't exist anymore in the table and creating duplicate entries in my output (one row with the updated data and one row with the deleted data). Does anyone know why this happens and what the fix is? The old data isn't in my table so I'm not sure how to surface it to remove it.amber_smith_kuOct 18, 2025Copper Contributor45Views0likes1CommentAccess Not Responding
I have an Access database (32 Bit) with a SQL Express backend that has been constantly Not Responding ever since Jan. 9th. There have been no programming updates to the database for a week, so it is not a programming change. Have there been any reports of Access not responding all of a sudden on a database that was working fine prior to the Windows updates installed on January 9th, 2024?MikeB33511Oct 17, 2025Copper Contributor2.2KViews0likes4Commentserrore nel salvataggio di maschere ERRORE DEFINITO DELL'APPLICAZIONE O DALL'OGGETTO
Da qualche giorno, a seguito di aggiornamenti, non si riesce a creare maschere e report guidati con Access. Al momento del salvataggio della maschera, compare il messaggio ERRORE DEFINITO DELL'APPLICAZIONE O DALL'OGGETTO. Faccio presente che fino a 10 giorni fa funzionava tutto perfettamente. Ho anche provato a disinstallare e reinstallare il prodotto.luirinaldi123-Oct 11, 2025Copper Contributor51Views0likes3CommentsAccess Error on File Import through VBA
We are running a custom VBA routine in Microsoft Access that imports and parses text files into a database. Starting around September 9th, some machines began showing an error dialog during this process. The dialog mentions a failure in the VBA Regular Expression engine. The error does not occur consistently. On the same machine, the import may succeed several times and then fail (roughly 1 out of 4 attempts). The behavior appears to vary depending on the input file. The VBA code itself has been unchanged for years and continues to function correctly on older builds. We are wondering if this is related to a recent update in Access or the VBA runtime. Has anyone else encountered this behavior, and are there known workarounds or fixes? Going to leave version numbers out of this post because it keeps getting deleted and I'm not sure why. This is my 4th or 5th attempt to write this post and it keep getting auto-moderated.JlorbzSep 24, 2025Copper Contributor62Views0likes3CommentsAccess Still Struggles on Data Import
More of a comment than anything else I have been a frequent flyer of Access since version 2.0. We used it almost daily for several years. I have since retired, and was away from it for a couple years now. However, due to a recent Office 365 account I started using again. One of the problems we had over the years with Access was on large data imports. This appears to be the same problem today as it was 30 years ago. Excel does not have this problem. Some of the same issues with Access "Does not recognize header name" Checking to insure header name was not a keyword and all rules were enforced, still did not allow the data to be imported. Since I needed to quickly turn around the information I had to link to an Excel file and run the queries. Pondering if MS has really done any improvments or serious upgrades with Access. I know programs cost resources to update. The other 3 Office apps have far more users than Access. I think Access is going to wither away within the next couple years. Was a great run when everything worked right. I have used a lot of different databases over the years. However, Access was the runt who was very user friendly and an awesome reports generator.Daryl WestSep 18, 2025Copper Contributor109Views0likes2CommentsApplication.SaveAsText posible Bug
I'm discovering the powerful Application.SaveAsText and LoadFromText methods, never used before, and found that Application.SaveAsText acTable,... always produces an Error 2.487: The Object Type argument for the action or method is blank or invalid The method works flawlessly with any other ObjectType. I've tested this behavior in a bare new accdb, with a single table in it, in three different systems (win10 & win11), all yielding the same result. My Access is 365 2508 (32 Bits) May someone check if it is a bug?SolvedJF_RuizSep 15, 2025Brass Contributor143Views0likes3CommentsAdding sub form for a new year
I am new to access. I have a new job to work on the database. I am attaching a copy of the page where there is the membership record and below there are several subforms. I would like to add a new subform of "2025-2026 Dues". There are forms for the previous years and I can copy them, but I don't know how to get them at the bottom ofthe page I have shown below. Can someone help me?viclea8Sep 13, 2025Copper Contributor298Views1like13Comments
