access 2003 runtime error

[KC]

Hi,

I have been developing with Access 2003 for a few months. Today when I open
up the code editor to work on the code behind the form it poped up with a
message:

Runtime error!
Program: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\MSACCESS.EXE
abnormal program termination

I have tried to reinstall Office using the repair options, uninstall Office
2003 and reinstall it, but none would solve the problem. Looks like I have
to reinstall my OS to get this resolved?

I also searched from the internet but couldn't find any resolutions.

Your help will be appreciated!

Thanks,
KC

If it's only affecting one database or one form then most likely the
database is corrupt, and you will not be able to fix it by reinstalling
anything!
