"...The file is stored in a one drive folder,..."
Just so you know, running accdbs which reside in a OneDrive folder is generally considered a high risk approach. You ought to look into a more standard shared location on your network.
Also, it sounds like this is not a split accdb relational database application because you refer to "it" Another unsafe approach. Sharing of a single accdb (with both tables and interface objects in it) is another high risk practice that is regularly associated with corruption of data.
I suggest you invest some time in learning more about standard ways to design and deploy relational database applications, which is done with the following general guidelines.
Split the relational database application into two files, one containing ONLY the tables with your data and one containing the remaining interface and logic--forms, reports, queries and VBA. The data file, usually referred to as the "Back End", is stored in a shared folder on your LAN (and again, OneDrive is considered an unsafe location for Access relational database applications in production). The interface and logic file is usually referred to as the "Front End". COPIES of the Front End, or FE, are deployed onto each user's computer and linked to the Back End, or BE. That way the data is shared, but each user has their own copy of the interface. If something goes wrong in any one of those FEs, it doesn't interfere with others.
It's hard to know if the sharing arrangement here is the root of your performance problem (two people using one single accdb on OneDrive), but I will venture to suggest it's quite possible and unsafe.
I have had a Access database built for my personal and family's use. It's a way to manage a remodeling project. My issue is that I would like to run it on my desktop but it fails when I select a vendor on the invoicing screen. Access just crashes.
It runs fine on my old Surface notebook, but crashes on my new Alienware desktop.
Both run windows 10 and Microsoft 365. Both are at the same build level.
I've reinstalled both windows and 365 on the desktop assuming there was something wrong as received from Dell, but it didn't resolve the problem.
The file is the same, I've copied it between the computers, downloaded from One Drive, tried many methods, it's not the file.

Here is a link to the file if you want to try...
Thanks if anyone can help.
The VBA in the mdb is password protected. That makes it impossible to trouble-shoot.
Perhaps you can provide the password? Or a version of the mdb without a password?stephantmi54 Hello
Can you give some info on how exactly your application hangs ?
I opened it and it seems "fine" although i didn't examined its functionality
From a quick glance nothing out of ordinary except a little too much code which i am unsure how you use...its not clear at first look
Your references looks good so no problem on this...after all everything is handled by macros (a lot)
It hangs when in invoicing you click the drop down to select a vendor... the app hangs and crashes... I can create a project, add vendors, add PO's but when attempting to add an invoice, a crash... again only on my desktop. On my old notebook it works fine...
I did check and found that the desktop is Windows home, version 2004 and the notebook is windows pro version 1909... The desktop is a new Alienware Ryzen 10, the notebook a older Surface Pro 4.
Do you have any events on that combo box? Please show us the code? Perhaps try a different approach.
Have you tried a Decompile/Compact and Repair/Compile/Compact and Repair?
Have you tried creating a new blank database and importing everything, then compiling to ensure there are no issues?
