I just had Access (the newest version with Office 365) lose all syntax highlighting, autocomplete, and the formatting that had been allowed previously. It worked last night, and this morning it was all gone. The issue is on my Windows 10 desktop. It still highlights syntax and formats for readability on my Win 11 laptop. The only thing I can find between the two versions that is different is there is a checkbox for the Monaco query editor in Access on my laptop, but not my desktop. I would like to reiterate that it was fine last night on the desktop. I opened the same database this morning, and it was gone. I checked other databases, they all lack the highlighting and formatting on my desktop, but it is still there on my laptop. I attempted to update, repair, and reinstall office, and nothing changed. I am trying to determine what might have caused this, and if there is anything to do about it. The highlighting, autocomplete, and formatting are not a complete necessity, but they made working with the queries a lot easier for me, since I am a not particularly experienced with SQL.124Views0likes2CommentsHow do I reference query data from an Access Macro
I have a simple Select query that returns a number of records. In my Access macro (just for clarification, I do mean Access Macro and not VBA) I want to check how many records the query returns in an IF statement. In this specific case the check would be on zero returned records, but being able to check non-zero in the future might be useful. I have tried various internet searches but the only results I found relate to VBA. Suggestions on how to do this check would be appreciated.

I have several Access databases that are linked together for various queries I run. They are located on my OneDrive. I want to use them on 2 different computers. My main desktop computer was set up as "C:\users\admin\OneDrive\ " The databases are linked and all the queries have worked fine for many years. I just bought a brand new laptop to keep at another location. It was automatically set up as "C:\users\wcrim\OneDrive\". I can access all my OneDrive files on the new computer individually. However, my databases have linkages for many queries that point to the original "C:\users\admin\OneDrive\" locations for other the databases. So on the new computer, they can't be found. On the new computer it's set up as "C:\users\wcrim\OneDrive\" I keep getting not found. I was hoping to just be able to change the user name directory on the new computer to "admin", but it appears that can't done, at least not easily. That's what I was told. What can be done so I can use these databases and all the queries on my new laptop computer also. I'm looking for an uncomplicated solution.

Since yesterday I noticed that in all my Access databases there is a problem when I close them. When I close a database, it leaves a background process that can only be terminated in Task Manager. Without this, it is not possible to (re)open databases! I have already checked some possible causes. It also concerns databases that I have not changed at all in recent months and that worked fine until this week. Therefore, I have to assume that it is a bug in an automatic update! It seems that it has to do with a malfunction in the deallocation of allocated memory in VBA source code. Did anyone experience the same problem? Are there already fixes or solutions available?Solved93KViews8likes191CommentsTroubleshooting Queries in Access
Hi All, I am trying to run a query in an Access database, the query is expected to populate an existing table with new data, however it is not running as expected. As per the set-up process, 1. Have deleted old tables (with previous data), and imported new data for these tables from a different Access database 2. Then I am doing a compact and repair. 3. Then I am running query that is expected to populate the table, I see no records are added to the table Could this be a file reference issue **or** lack of data **or** missing tables /steps **or** a connection within Access. Appreciate step by step process to diagnose the issue90Views0likes2CommentsQuery failure in Windows 11
Hi I just had a new computer at work, and changed from windows 10 to windows 11. I have a query, which compare 2 tables, and add rows in table2 that dont exits in table1. This has been working for years, but now it, only sometimes, double all the rows. INSERT INTO MPS Columns from Table2 (Access linked to sharepoint) SELECT MPS2. Columns from table1 FROM MPS2 WHERE not exists (Select 1 from MPS WHERE MPS.[MPSid] = MPS2.[MPSid]); It compares a unik field MPSid It doubles the rows sometimes, and the MPSid is the same, in the doubled rows Has something changed, or is there a workaround? Best Regards Tony164Views0likes3Comments"Access" does not close completely, so the further application must be closed in the task manager
If vba was used in "Access", the application no longer closes completely and must be closed in the task manager. The problem occurs on one device and the same application runs without problems on another. The problem arose with Access 2019 on windows 11. Now I have uninstalled Office 2019. But even with Office 365 the problem remains.1KViews0likes4CommentsAccess Not Responding
I have an Access database (32 Bit) with a SQL Express backend that has been constantly Not Responding ever since Jan. 9th. There have been no programming updates to the database for a week, so it is not a programming change. Have there been any reports of Access not responding all of a sudden on a database that was working fine prior to the Windows updates installed on January 9th, 2024?2.3KViews0likes4Comments
