Re: Access crushes after SP3 installed

Any updates?
I'm now getting this error after applying SP3 yesterday.

Outside of a hotfix, is the only resolution to uninstall Office 2003 and
reinstall without SP3?

thanks,
Michael

Please advise if there is a fix. I have to complete 3rd quarter reports.
Every table in my database has more than 10 fields. There is no way to
reduce them. I have tried to copy the database or create a new one and
import. I just imported the problem. I am in big trouble here.

Hi biganthony,

I am personally do not using any type of formatting for a table. When I
start developing access databases around 11 years ago I read an article (do
not remember there) which recommended not to do any formatting on a table
level to avoid complication. So since when I follow this advice and keep my
tables format to bare minimum, and all formatting happening on form, module
or query level.

However even so this bug does not affect me directly, but I fill it still
should be fixed by Microsoft.

Ed,

This happened to me each time i attempted to save a form after deleting the
custom formatting of a field in a table underlying the form that experienced
the combo box problem after installing SP3. (Hope MS read the error reports
sent their way when this happened to me. There were about 6 of them!) The
only way I fixed it was by copying the database to a computer with SP2 and
making the changes there.

Regards
Anthony

Hello all,

I hope someone can help me with the following problem;
This problem started after I install Microsoft Office 2003 SP3

After several hours of investigation I strip my problem to following simple
steps

1) Create a table (e.g. Products) with more then 30 fields in it (e.g. 1,2,3
... 31 )
2) Create a form (Form1) add combobox to it (e.g. Combobox1).
3) Save Form1
4) Open Form1 in design view again
5) Set Combobox1's "Row Source Type" to be "Table/Query" and "Row Source" to
be "Products", where "Products" is table created at step 1 above
6) Try to save Form1 and it will lead to "Microsoft Office Access has
encountered a problem..." dialog box with "Send Error Report" button in it
and consecutively shutting down Microsoft Access

Notes: If table has 30 or less fields when above problem does not happen

I would really appreciate your help!

Thanks,
