Hello<br />
<br />
I built a database for a client which has been working fine until a massage appeared saying 'MS Access has stopped working' when the client went to add a new applicant. &nbsp;This seemed to appear out of the blue as we have not made any changes to the coding behind this button.<br />
<br />
I have resolved the problem by importing &nbsp;an old form, but I want to try and understand why this has happened so it doesn't happen again. Does anyone have any ideas why this message appeared?<br />

Hello

I built a database for a client which has been working fine until a massage appeared saying 'MS Access has stopped working' when the client went to add a new applicant.  This seemed to appear out of the blue as we have not made any changes to the coding behind this button.

I have resolved the problem by importing  an old form, but I want to try and understand why this has happened so it doesn't happen again. Does anyone have any ideas why this message appeared?

MS Access has stopped working

Microsoft Access is a rapid application development (RAD) relational database tool. Access can be used for both desktop and web-based applications, and uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as its coding language.

Microsoft Access

Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) enables building user-defined functions (UDFs), automating processes and accessing Windows API and other low-level functionality through dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). VBA is closely related to Visual Basic and uses the Visual Basic Runtime Library, but it can normally only run code within a host application rather than as a standalone program. It can, however, be used to control one application from another via OLE Automation. VBA is built into most Microsoft Office applications.
