Bug Name |
Issue Fixed |
|
Access Database Engine fails to load when used as a Data Access Objects (DAO) provider
|
When using DAO from an application other than a Microsoft 365 app (e.g., a custom application written in C#/C++/VBScript) you may get an error: "The operating system is not presently configured to run this application." This update fixes the issue. |
|
Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) performance regression in Excel when looping through DAO Recordset
|
When looping through a DAO Recordset in VBA code in an Excel macro, the code runs significantly slower than previously. This update restores performance to previous levels. |
|
No error shown when trying to open unsigned macro in .mdb or .mde file
|
If the Trust Center Macro Settings option is set to "Disable all macros except digitally signed macros", Access blocks opening any database that isn't signed with a code signing certificate. This update adds an error message to indicate the reason that the database won’t open when a user attempts to open a database without a signature. Previously, there was no indication why the database was blocked from opening. |
|
Access terminates unexpectedly when using aggregate functions in query
|
When executing a query that doesn’t select from any table, and using an aggregate function, e.g., "Select Sum(5)", Access terminates unexpectedly. This update prevents this from happening, and causes #Error to display when the query is executed.
|
|
Using the Access Database Engine as an OLEDB provider (Microsoft.Ace.OLEDB.16.0) to connect to an Access database with links to SharePoint lists may cause an application to terminate unexpectedly |
This update fixes an issue that could cause the application to terminate unexpectedly when using the Access Database Engine OLEDB API with a database containing links to SharePoint lists. |
|
Additional details for saving import/export specs no longer appear |
When exporting a table to an external data source (Excel, text, etc.), there is an option to Save Import/Export steps. If you check this option, you should be provided with the ability to specify a name/description for the saved operation. This update fixes an issue that prevents the options to enter this data from showing in the wizard. |
