Msgbox or Modal window Crash on PC Sleep
This has been an issue for a couple of years, but I haven't spent too much time trying to solve it because I thought it would eventually go away. It hasn't and it is becoming worse as I develop other parts of my application. Situation: When a msgbox (or modal window) is open and the PC sleeps, the application hangs upon PC awake. There's no way to get out it with ending the process. To replicate: Create and save blank database Create one module with a single public test function Enter msgbox "Hang Test", vbOkOnly Hit F5 to run the code. The message box pops up. Leave it. Put PC to sleep manually with windows | power | sleep Awaken PC, Access is now frozen. GPT provides a lot of explanations for this behavior, but it doesn't make sense and must be something that can be addressed. Windows 11, Version 2606 (Build 20131.20126 Click-to-Run)
Office.js: Is there any supported way to retrieve multiple non-contiguous text selections in Word?
Hi everyone, I'm developing a Word Office Add-in using Office.js. In Microsoft Word (Windows Desktop), users can select multiple non-contiguous text ranges by holding Ctrl while selecting text. However, when I use: context.document.getSelection() It only returns a single Word.Range, and I couldn't find any API to detect or retrieve all the selected ranges. I came across this related discussion: Microsoft Tech Community – Support for Retrieving Multiple Selected Ranges in Word via Office.js My questions are: 1. As of 2026, is there any supported Office.js API to retrieve multiple non-contiguous text selections? 2. Is there any workaround to detect that the user has selected multiple ranges? 3. Or is this still a platform limitation? Our use case is an AI-powered legal research add-in, where users may want to select multiple clauses from different parts of a document and send them together as context. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!
Office Home & Business 2019 license no longer recognized after reinstall ("No license found")
Hello everyone, I'm looking for some help because Microsoft Support has not been able to solve this issue. I own a genuine perpetual license of Office Home & Business 2019 for Mac, linked to my Microsoft account since August 2019. The license is still listed under Services & Subscriptions, but Office no longer activates. My hardware MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2012) Model: MacBookPro10,2 Intel Core i5 8 GB RAM macOS Ventura 13.7.8 Installed using OpenCore Legacy Patcher Office version originally working: 16.78 Later tested with 16.101 and 16.93 Same result on every version What happened Office had already been successfully activated and worked normally. I was able to: create documents edit documents save documents After restarting the Mac, Office suddenly requested activation again. Since then it has never activated successfully. Initially Office failed to activate with an unknown error. After completely uninstalling and reinstalling Office using Microsoft's installer, the activation process changed. I can now successfully sign in with my Microsoft account, but after authentication Office displays: "No license found for this account." My Office Home & Business 2019 license is still present in my Microsoft account under Services & Subscriptions. Even though my Microsoft account clearly owns Office Home & Business 2019 for Mac. Microsoft account The license appears correctly under: Services & Subscriptions Office Home & Business 2019 for Mac Added to my account on August 7, 2019. The website instructs me to open an Office application and sign in to activate. Everything I've already tried Uninstalled Office completely Installed Office again using Microsoft's installer Installed Office 16.78 Installed Office 16.93 Updated to Office 16.101 Removed Office containers Removed Group Containers Deleted OneAuth cache Deleted Entrabroker cache Removed activation tokens Cleared Office preferences Signed out and signed back into Microsoft account Deleted Office credentials from Keychain Reinstalled Microsoft AutoUpdate Verified no MDM profile exists Verified Internet Accounts Verified Microsoft account Microsoft Support remotely accessed my Mac and repeated all troubleshooting steps Nothing solved the issue. Additional information Running: defaults read com.microsoft.office returns: OfficeActivationLicense = NoLicense although: OfficeActivationEmailAddress = email address removed for privacy reasons is correctly detected. The activation window successfully reaches Microsoft's login page. Office now asks for my Microsoft account credentials. Authentication completes successfully. After a few seconds Office reports: "No license found for this account." It then offers only two options: Buy Microsoft 365 Use another account Microsoft Support remotely connected to my Mac, completely removed Office, installed a newer official installer, and the problem remained exactly the same. My question Has anyone experienced this after reinstalling Office 2019? Could this be: a licensing server issue? an incompatibility introduced after Office 2019 reached end of support? an activation problem related to OpenCore Legacy Patcher? something else? I would really appreciate any suggestions. Thank you very much. Additional notes: The Office license has been associated with the same Microsoft account since 2019. The same installation was successfully activated and worked normally before the problem started. The issue only appeared after restarting the Mac. Microsoft Support has already remotely accessed my computer and could not resolve the problem.
Not For Profit Licence suddenly disappeared and then deleted
Hi All Have a big issue. Have a not for profit account for our charity. Renewed licence earlier in the year and all was ok and working. Then a few days ago I had reports of not being able to access data. After much hunting I found the below. Seems account was suddenly and without warning disabled and then reported as deleted a few days later. What do I do? I desperately need to recover the files that were on the associated teams? Any help would be much appreciatedAccess 365 Issues
I’m running Windows 11 pro, dual monitors (200% laptop and 100% external). Quick repair did not work. Issue 1: When I open Access 365, the navigation bar is only about and inch wide. I can close it, but it only opens to an inch wide. How do I fix this. Issue 2: I opened the Contact template in Access then save copy. I want to customize the saved copy. The copy seems to be locked. I can’t make any edits like add fields and unfreeze pane. How can I edit copies of the templates include in my Access 365?Word Document Using Columns Not Modified, But Suddenly Displays Differently
I am using MS Word on my Windows 11 desktop. I have been using a Word document that I created a couple of years ago. The document uses Columns. The last time I modified it was a year ago. I tend to print it out every two days. Suddenly, the document displays differently and prints those differences. It now displays vertical lines below four of the five squares. I moved the document to my Windows 11 laptop. Same problem there. I sent the Word document to my son who opened it on his Mac computer. On his computer, it displays exactly as it should -- No erroneous vertical lines. Again, I have not modified the document. I thought maybe a Windows update may have caused the problem, but I don't see any Windows update in about one month. I am displaying two images below, a "before" and "after" image. The "before" (i.e., correct) image shows five squares and the alphabet displaying vertically. The "after" image shows vertical lines below the first four squares. Can anyone suggest a fix for this? Repeating myself again -- I have not modified this file in a year. Thank you. Len Jacobson First Image -- Correct display of the five squares and the alphabet displayed vertically Second Image -- Incorrect display. Vertical lines appearing below the first four squares.
Has anyone migrated from one Google Workspace to another after a company merger?
Hi all, Our company recently went through a merger and we now have two separate Google Workspace accounts that need to be consolidated into one. I need to move everything across, emails, contacts, calendars and tasks, for all users without anything getting lost in the process. Honestly not sure where to begin. Google's native tools seem limited for something like this and I don't want to start without a solid plan. Has anyone gone through a similar consolidation? How did you handle it and is there anything you wish you had known before starting?multi Vehicle maintenance log record
