MS Access 2016 is not Responding when i open a Report or Table

Copper Contributor

Hi,

 

When i open any Report or Table the Access 2016 is not responding. In Access File i have 4 Linked Tables and few Reports and Queries which i created based on the  Linked Tables which are linked to MS Excel 2016 File in the same folder. I am using Windows 10 OS.

Probably the linking to Excel is the culprit...to be certain make make table queries and create local tables out of the Excel and test again. Just yesterday i had a case with a rather small Excel as Linked table...it was literally crawling..making an Access table out of this just skyrocketted the performance.
To check if this issue is caused by some add-ins, please try starting Access in the Safe Mode by the following steps:

1. Close all Access windows;

2. Press Windows key + R to start Run:

3. Paste the following command into Run: msaccess /safe

4. Run you Access query in the Safe Mode and see if the issue would appear.

Meanwhile, as you mentioned that other Office applications also have a similar "not responding" issue, I'd suggest that you try performing a clean reboot to check if this behavior is caused by other applications installed on your PC.

If my above information couldn't help, please also open Access > go to File > Account > capture a screenshot of the version information and let us further investigate it for you.
