Access 365 Runtime 2605+: MsgBox in Click event stops responding (Zoom related)
Starting with Access 365 Runtime version 2605 (build 20026.20168), MsgBox called within a Click event stops responding under specific conditions. We have confirmed that the issue is related to the Access Zoom feature. Microsoft 365 support advised us to report this issue in the community, so we are posting it here. ■ Affected Versions No issues confirmed prior to May 2026 Version 2605 (build 20026.20168) and later → Affected ■ Reproduction Environment Access 365 Runtime Resolution: 1920×1080 (Full HD), Text size: 100% Issue does NOT reproduce at text size 125% or 150% ■ Sample File We have a minimal sample database (Db1.accdb) that reliably reproduces this issue. It contains two forms (Form A and Form B). We can provide it on request. ■ Steps to Reproduce Open the sample database → Form A opens Click Button A on Form A → Form B opens Click Button B on Form B → MsgBox appears (works as expected) Click “No” in the MsgBox Click the Close button on Form B → Form B closes Click Button A on Form A again → Form B opens Click Button B on Form B → MsgBox should appear, but Access stops responding instead Pressing the Alt key resumes execution and MsgBox appears Note: MsgBox displays correctly the first time Form B is opened (step 3). The issue occurs after Form B has been closed and reopened (step 7). ■ Findings Enabling “Disable zoom” in File → Options → Current Database prevents the issue. This option is available in version 2608 and later. The issue also does not occur if Form A is moved to the far left of the screen, or down to approximately the vertical center of the screen, before performing the steps. ■ Temporary Workaround for Versions 2605–2607 The “Disable zoom” option is not available in these versions. Adding the following code immediately before the MsgBox call avoids the issue: Application.Echo False DoEvents Application.Echo True However, this workaround causes side effects in some forms of our application, such as unexpected termination and unexpected parameter prompts for record sources, so it is not a suitable long-term solution. ■ Request This issue began occurring around May 2026 in an existing application whose code has not been changed. We kindly ask the Access team to investigate and fix this issue so that it does not occur when Zoom is enabled. If anyone else is experiencing the same issue, please let us know. We can share the sample file on request.
New Zoom Feature allways removes like it's never been
Hi everybody, Ever since the zoom feature was introduced, I’ve repeatedly encountered a phenomenon where the feature—despite having been present—suddenly disappears. There is no slider, no zoom option in the ribbon, and no corresponding database options. I am using Microsoft® Access® for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2609, Build 16.0.20430.20032, 64-bit) on the Monthly Enterprise Channel. Following an update to this version, the feature reappeared. I opened several databases, and the slider was visible—it worked without any major issues (even though I rarely use it), with no crashes or error messages. Then, upon opening another database, the slider and all other elements related to the zoom feature vanished. When I went back to the previous databases, the feature had disappeared there as well. Restarting the PC and performing a "Quick Repair" had no effect. I have observed the same behavior across the previous five versions; the feature keeps disappearing. It seems that a new "Click-to-Run" update might re-enable it (though I’m not entirely certain). Something—or someone (Microsoft ?)—is disabling it. Fortunately, I haven’t incorporated this new feature into any of my objects or VBA code yet; otherwise, the database would crash! Does anyone have any ideas?

Hallo Access-friends, Field disappears when zooming out below 100% with mouse scrolling (See screenshot) Continuous Form. The disappearance of individual fields seems to get worse the faster you scroll through the records with the mouse. If you use the right scrollbar, you don't have this problem or your zoom is 100 and higher. The problem shows up for me when you place a field with a transparent background over a conditionally formatted field. The error is reproducible; I can send a sample database. Another issue (maybe not new): I want a text box not to get focus (Here the big green Textbox ). Normally I do this by setting locked=true, enabled=false. But if the text box has conditional formatting, it can still get focus and then the field will be in foreground whats normal but not wanted. I use this construct for formating Records in contious Forms). The F1 Online description for Textbox-enable doesn’t seem right to me… or am I wrong about that? Hope this helps to make things better. Thanks for reading
I Can't get Microsoft's help
Why is it that it is so difficult to get Microsoft to help me access my account? I have been trying for a few months now and have not had any issues resolved. I can no longer access some of my accounts. My Authenticator app on my iphone is asking for a code from my Authenticator app which is circular reasoning. This is impossible. I have also tried to call Microsoft multiple times but their automated system hangs up on me because they are experimenting technical issues. We'll, guess what! I'M HAVING TECHNICAL ISSUES AS WELL.. I'm hoping someone from Microsoft well see this and reach out. I need to log into my new PC I purchased and I can't.
Erro de Limite de memoria
Boa tarde Sem ter sido feito qualquer alteração de programação começou a aparecer em muitos relatórios este aviso "Não há memoria suficiente. feche todas aplicações desnecessárias e tente a operação de novo" Dá ideia que este aviso não corresponde à verdade..... Podem ajudar ? Good afternoon Without any programming changes being made, this warning has started appearing in many reports: "Not enough memory. Close all unnecessary applications and try the operation again." It seems that this warning is not true... Can you help?Wiederherstellung der Sicherheitsinformationen. Was tun, wenn die 30 Tage rum sind?
Ich habe eine neue Mailadresse angegeben. Was muss ich tun, wenn die 30 Tage Wartezeit in ein paar Tagen vorbei sind? Was ist, wenn ich dann mein altes Passwort nicht mehr habe? Wie läuft das alles genau ab? Werde ich über den Ablauf der 30 Tage informiert? Warum bekomme ich nicht direkt von Microsoft Informationen, wie das abläuft? Besten Dank für kompetente und verständnisvolle Hilfe.How do I get support with Authentication when it doesn't work?
I have a business 365 account but changed address and so my credit card payments stopped. However, I can't log in to my account because I have an authentication problem (my authentication app on iPhone is still working but the entry for this account has gone and there is a new one called "Microsoft Entra ID" but when I go to get the authentication code this "Entra ID" authenticator does not produce it). To get help from Microsoft it always asks for authentication. I would like to keep this account and start paying again but I can't find a way to get help to fix the authentication problem because raising a ticket or talking to an agent requires authentication.
