Question : microsoft office access has encountered a problem and needs to close

Hi there

I am getting the dreaded "microsoft office access has encountered a problem and needs to close " message which seems to be related to two issues.
1.  When a filter has been applied and a combo box is then used to do a search
2.  When a memo field has more than 1400 words or 8450 characters in it and someone edits the text or pastes additinal text in sucah as a signature or copies a section.

In the first situation I am using a pure Access 2003 database in the second I have an Access database with a MS 2005 SQL backend.

Your help as always will be greatly appreciated

Regards
Alan

I'd suggest you deploy the frontend as an .mde file. This will prevent de-compilation and corruption.
