Access close problem

Question

I've updated Office 2016 Pro. (Microsoft Access 2016: 16.0.13029.20460 (32-bit))

The next problem came up.

When I close Access with an embedded macro or code, it always remains open in the background, an MSACCESS. EXE application.

- Also for an embedded macro is not closed..

- "DoCmd.Quit acExit" code is not closed.

- "Application.Quit acQuitSaveNone" code is not closed.

With task manager, I always have to close it separately.

There was no problem closing Access before the upgrade.

Stan in the dark here, but could you be allocated with https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/office-error-accdb-remains-locked-after-oledb-connection-is-closed-37d42348-9edf-4493-a5f4-35c685af3160?ui=en-us&rs=en-us&ad=us

Answer 2

I might understand this statement:

"When I close Access with an embedded macro or code, it always remains open in the background, an MSACCESS. EXE application.

But I definitely do not understand:

"- Also for an embedded macro is not closed..
- "DoCmd.Quit acExit" code is not closed.
- "Application.Quit acQuitSaveNone" code is not closed.

- - - - - - - -

what is meant by 'code is not closed'....??  the .exe app is there I assume from your first statement, and so are you reopening that?? to look at code??

also - can there be some code that is automating activity of another app?  are you the author and know all the code in the app being discussed?
