[German<\/a>]Microsoft Office security updates released on Patchday (November 12, 2019) cause Access to fail to access databases. An error 3340 'Query is corrupted' will be dropped. Addendum:<\/strong> I reported the issue to Microsoft, a fix is in preparation – see inside. Addendum 2:<\/strong> A fix for Access 2016 is available.<\/p>\n

Error 3340: \"Query\" is corrupted<\/h2>\n

Within my German blog I got this night the first comments from blog readers claiming an issue with Access, after installing Office security updates released on November 12, 2019.<\/p>\n

Report #1: Error in Access 2010<\/h3>\n

German blog reader Ollat wrotes<\/a> with reference to the Access 2010 he uses, the following:<\/p>\n

Again something seems to have changed when accessing Access databases, this time Access 2010.<\/p>\n

There was a similar problem last with 97'er DBs<\/p>\n

Uninstalling Office 2010 Security Update seems to help the first customers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This concerns Microsoft Access 2010 in a specific case – uninstalling Office 2010 Security Update KB4484127<\/a> fixed the error.<\/p>\n

Error in Access 2010, 2013, and 2016<\/h3>\n

At the same time I received a message from Annette via e-mail reparting the same issue with Access. She wrote (I've translated the German texts within this English blog post):<\/p>\n

Do you already have information about the updates from 13.11.2019? I have received some messages that Access reports \"3340 query is corrupted\". I guess it concerns Office 2013 but I'm not sure.<\/p>\n

What's certain is that it's not the database, it must be a bug that was introduced with the update..<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

She supposed that Office 2013 and its Access version is affected. But later Annette left another comment<\/a> with further information:<\/p>\n

if I just thought it concerns Office 2013, I now know that Office 2010 and 2016 are also affected.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

At German site administrator.de there is this thread<\/a>, where the Access error has been discussed also. Addendum: There are now also threads at Technet forum here and here.<\/p>\n

Workaround: Uninstall Office security update<\/h2>\n

It appears that a security update for the CVE-2019-1402<\/a> vulnerability in each version of Microsoft Office causes this error. Here is the list of Office security updates that you can uninstall.<\/p>\n
