3. choose Code Builder
4. click Ok
5. access freezes then disappears with no error message
6. Event Viewer records the application crash

    Hi,

    I'm using Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2311 Build 16.0.17029.20068) 32-bit.

     

    I'm having the same problem with the Edge Browser. 

    In fact, the crash occured when the browser is set to Visible = False and you open the form.

    If you set Visible = true, the form will open normally.

     

    Please let us know if you have a solution for this issue.

        Thanks. We've replicated this a couple of times now. It's been forwarded to the MS Access team for evaluation.

        The workaround that I found is to immediately use the Build Event which automatically pops up when you first insert the web browser control. At that point, it accepts the URL without crashing. If you dismiss the dialog, but go back later, following your described steps, then the crash occurs.

        In my case, the VBA IDE flashed before the crash. Did that also happen in your scenario?
