[German]Brief information for users of Microsoft Access, who suffer since weeks from an Access ACCDE/MDE bug introduced by update. The error when using forms that the requested class library or wizard is not a VBA project is patched by Microsoft. Now the release dates for these fixes are fixed.
The VBA libray bug
I had pointed out the problem in Access after reader comments in the blog post Office updates destroys Access run time and apps. All Access users are affected by the issue and may get the following error reported when calling a form in the Access package:
You have entered the expression On Load as the event property setting. This expression has caused an error: Requested class library or wizard is not a VBA project.
In the meantime Microsoft has confirmed the problem and announced fix updates for the Click-2-Run and MSI versions.
Schedule for fixes
A blog reader has pointed out that Microsoft has now published dates for the release of the updates for the various Office distribution channels. The support post: Error when trying to open an ACCDE/MDE file created in a different version of Access currently lists the following dates:

Workaround for immediate help
In this comment, German reader A. Heyne points out a workaround with which affected users can help themselves by replacing a DLL until a patch is available:
However, to get an Office 2013 client up and running already now, I took the "Vbe7.dll" (version 7.01.1124) affected by the problem and corrected by the current patch in 2019 from a 2019 machine and copied it to the 2013 machine: Works so far without problems.
You can find the DLL here:
– 32-bit Office: "c:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VBA\VBA7.1".
– 64-bit Office: "c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VBA\VBA7.1"I did it with a 64-bit Office installation. However, it will certainly work with a 32-bit variant.
Likewise, I assume that the DLL will work with Office 2016.
For people where a fix is urgently needed, and who still have the problem, the above approach may be tried.
