Access fixes released in Version 2604 (Build 16.0.19929.20090)
Bug Name Issue Fixed Values display in the wrong control when using a form as a sublist When a form was used as a sublist (subdatasheet), field values could display in the wrong control, showing data in incorrect positions. Values now display in the correct controls. Applications that use the Access Database Engine (ACEOLEDB) terminate unexpectedly on exit Third-party applications using the Access Database Engine (ACEOLEDB) provider could terminate unexpectedly when closing. The shutdown sequence has been corrected. Long Text field corrupted when a query updates a record while a user is editing it When a query updated a Long Text field on a record that was simultaneously open for editing, the field data could become corrupted. The record update now correctly handles concurrent access to Long Text fields. Rendering errors with Aptos (Detail) font Controls using the Aptos (Detail) font variant could render incorrectly, with characters appearing misaligned or garbled. The font rendering has been corrected. Standard colors in Access didn't match other Office apps The standard color palette in Access used different color values than other Office applications like Word and Excel. The color palette has been updated to match the rest of Office. Option Group with Vertical Anchor Bottom: option buttons show incorrect visual state after clicking When an option group control had its Vertical Anchor property set to Bottom, clicking an option button would not correctly update the visual state of the buttons. The visual state now updates correctly regardless of the anchor setting. Query Design: Insert/Delete Columns don't work when ribbon is set to Show Tabs Only In Query Design view, the Insert Columns and Delete Columns commands on the ribbon did not work when the ribbon display option was set to "Show Tabs Only." The commands now work correctly regardless of ribbon display mode. SQL View: Ctrl+K should toggle pretty formatting off/on In the Monaco SQL editor, the Ctrl+K keyboard shortcut did not toggle SQL formatting. Ctrl+K now correctly toggles pretty formatting on and off. Monaco editor incorrectly converts Unicode characters in SQL view When switching between Design View and SQL View, the Monaco SQL editor could incorrectly convert certain Unicode characters, corrupting the SQL text. Unicode characters are now preserved correctly. Importing text files with Unicode characters in the filename fails Attempting to import a text file whose filename contained certain Unicode characters would fail. File imports now handle Unicode filenames correctly. Added VarP and StDevP to the Totals query aggregate dropdown The VarP (population variance) and StDevP (population standard deviation) aggregate functions were missing from the Totals row dropdown in Query Design view. They have been added alongside the existing Var and StDev options. Added VarP and StDevP to the datasheet totals row dropdown The VarP and StDevP aggregate functions were missing from the Totals row dropdown in Datasheet view. They have been added to match the options available in Query Design view. Access hangs at shutdown when VBA holds temporary DAO field references Access could hang during shutdown when VBA code created temporary DAO field references. The shutdown process now correctly cleans up temporary field references. Full Screen Mode ribbon display option does nothing in Access Selecting "Full Screen Mode" from the ribbon display options had no effect in Access. This option now works correctly, hiding the ribbon to maximize the available workspace.Access fixes released in Version 2603 (Build 19822.20114)
Here's a summary of bug fixes in the latest version of Access: Bug Name Issue Fixed Edge Browser Control didn't navigate from code when inside a tab control When the Edge Browser control was hosted in a tab control, calls to the Navigate method from VBA succeeded, but the control didn’t refresh to show the new page. Switching tabs forced the refresh. The control now refreshes automatically after navigation, even when it’s hosted in a tab control. Some Unicode characters displayed incorrectly in Quick Import Certain extended Unicode characters were displayed as squares when importing data using Quick Import. These characters are now displayed correctly. Modern Chart titles truncated in Print Preview When viewing a report containing Modern Charts in Print Preview, chart titles might be truncated. Chart titles now render correctly in Print Preview. Some Unicode characters displayed incorrectly in exported object names When exporting an object whose name contained certain extended Unicode characters, the sheet name in the exported file displayed the characters incorrectly. These characters are now preserved correctly during export. Some Unicode characters displayed incorrectly in error messages for long object names When renaming a database object to a name that was too long, the error message displayed certain extended Unicode characters incorrectly. These characters now display correctly in error messages. Standard colors in Access didn't match other Office apps The standard color palette in Access used different color values than other Office applications like Word and Excel. For example, the standard red in Access was #ED1C24 instead of the updated Office standard red #EE0000. The color palette has been updated to match the rest of Office. Field.Properties("Precision") and Properties("Scale") on a query column caused the query to execute Accessing the Precision or Scale properties of a field in a query's Fields collection caused the query to execute. This was a regression that broke add-ins and code that enumerate field properties, since query execution can be expensive and have side effects. These properties are now returned without executing the query. Toggle filter button in status bar didn't work when no records were displayed When a form filter resulted in no matching records, clicking the Toggle Filter button in the status bar to remove the filter had no effect. The button now properly removes the filter even when the filtered result set is empty. PDF files with capitalized extension didn't render in Edge Browser Control When navigating to a PDF file using the Edge Browser control, if the file extension was capitalized (e.g., ".PDF" instead of ".pdf"), the file contents were rendered as raw text instead of as a formatted PDF document. The extension comparison is now case-insensitive. Monaco SQL editor inserted blank lines in multi-line comments When switching between Design View and SQL View, the Monaco SQL editor inserted blank lines between each line inside /* multi-line comment */ blocks. This affected both local and passthrough queries. The editor now preserves the original comment formatting.

Bug Name Issue Fixed Undo/Redo don’t work for Bring To Front and Send To Back commands. In Form/Report Design view, after executing a Bring To Front or Send To Back command to re-order controls, Undo will now restore the previous state. Syntax highlighting makes keywords hard to read with dark Office themes in the Monaco SQL editor. Keywords will now be rendered with a lighter blue color in dark themes to provide better contrast. Connector lines difficult to see in Waterfall charts. You can now set the thickness of the connector lines in a Waterfall chart to make them more visible.
