Access 2007 crashing with right click on subform

[dstork]

Has anyone else experienced Access 2007 crashing when users right
click on the subform (with the intention to use the copy feature in
the shortcut menu).

I went through Allen Browne's recommended checks (Name Autocorrect
Options, references, decompiling, etc) and I even tried installing
Office SP1 but no luck. (Access also crashes for me when right
clicking on the recordsource proptery of a Form).

I'm not getting that crash in A2007 SP1.
I wonder what's different.

Is your subform based on a query that uses more than 1 table?
If so, is there are text box for the foreign key field(s), i.e. the one(s)
named in LinkChildFields?

Re changing the RecordSource property: is this in design view?
Does it happen in any form, or a specific form?
Does it happen only after you make a change?
Does it still happen if you click somewhere else in the property sheet (e.g.
Recordset Type property) after making the change?

I have an app that always crashed when right-clicking in lower subforms. It
appeard to happen when I was using a tab control, with subforms, and even a
sub-sub form on one of the tabs. The sub-sub form in particular would crash
access 2007 every time.

As for my app, I'm considering reworking the interface to remove the tabs,
so I suspect that if I eliminate the need for 2 subforms deep, it wouldn't
crash, but that's just a guess.

I'm not sure if SP-1 fixed this, but I would suspect that it does. I haven't
yet loaded SP-1.

Hope this helps,

I've seen the same with a clients app. While the problem was quite consistent I
couldn't quickly get a simple repro. I've left that problem for now.

Allen,

I think the two issues are possibly related and that is why I
mentioned them in one post. I've even tried right clicking on a
"simple" form which pulls data from a single table (into the subform
with no tabs on the form) and still Access crashes.

As for right clicking in the properties window, it seems to crash no
matter what property I right click on (in the design view). It seems
to happen on any form. I simply open the form in design view, right
click on a property in the properties window and voila, it crashes.

I have imported all tables, queries, forms, etc to a new accdb,
recreated the same references and it does not crash. I suppose I
could go this way, but it would have been nice to know why.

Thanks.

Hi, I experience this problem too on a regular basis. It only seems to affect
legacy *.mdb databses, particularly those created with Access 2000 or Access
97. I can get the problem to fault reliably using the Video Collection
Database Access 2000 template from Microsoft. Load this into Access 2007 :
http://office.microsoft.com/en-au/templates/TC011817771033.aspx?CategoryID=CT102144001033
Then click on "Enter/View Videotapes".
Ensure your text cursor is in the "Description" field.
Now right click on any field below "Program Name" or "Actor".
This will cause Access 2007 to crash with a 0xC0000005 error code.
Hope this info assists Microsoft in repairing this bug.

Thats problem occurs when import or transfer Access 2000,2003 database to
Access 2007 with user defined commandbars.
You must import/transfer all objects of previous version Access to 2007
except commandbars. Then create your custom ribbons using XML.

Good Luck
David

Many thanks for your input David. We have no user defined commandbars in our
database however, yet the problem still occurs. I also find that if when
typing into a text field the system prompts you to change the capitalisation,
then when you do so, more often than not it will crash Access corrupting your
database if you're not careful. Two dastardly problems that I wish we didn't
have to deal with.

Cheers, Mack
