This article provides information about Access bugs and other issues reported during Oct 2026 (in order of date reported) including symptoms and action taken.
So far only two new issues reported this month.

IMPORTANT:
Insider channels (particularly Beta Channel) are used by Microsoft to test new features before these go to production channels.
It is to be expected that the insider channels may contain bugs. These channels should only be used for testing purposes and NEVER for production use.

Item	Bug information	Date Reported	Reported By	Action taken
a)	Out of memory errors when adding variables or compiling a complex database with many variable definitions. Access appears to have a limit to the number of identifiers similar as is the case for Visual Basic 6. See: Visual Basic 6 Project Limitations When that limit is reached, an out of memory error is displayed, either when attempting to define a new variable or on compiling the project. The variable triggering this error may be renamed as 'Me'. Affects all current versions of Access and release channels. Workaround: Significantly reduce the number of unique identifiers and/or move some code into a separate library database	2026-10-07	Eugen Albiker Colin Riddington	Being investigated by the Access team
