Access freezes when I copy a record
Windows 11 Office 365 Access Suddenly, when I copied a record in the database Access froze as if it didn't have enough memory. I tried compact and repair, repairing Office, uninstalling and reins...
- I also did that and saw the problem remained
Art_Menius Not sure this is the solution for you but for me it was to go into Settings in Windows 11 > System > Clipboard and turn off "Suggested actions" for when you copy a date, time or phone number. I've been copying and pasting records from Access 2016 to Excel 2016 for years and never had a problem until recently. It appeared that both were locking up each time I tried to copy multiple records from Access to Excel. I tried several setting under options in both and nothing worked. I found this tip of turning off the "Suggested actions" option for clipboard in Windows 11 and that solved the problem. https://www.accessforever.org/post/access-365-freezes-with-win11-when-you-copy-records
It worked for me too.. much appreciated. Thanks mate!
