I just had a lengthy support call with a client. My MS Access (mde) file would not open. Received the message: "The expression on open you entered as the event property setting produced the following error. Requested type library or wizard is not a VBA project." I uploaded the uncompiled (mdb) file and that one ran fine. I tried creating a new mde file but it too would not run. After much head scratching, I check the latest updates and saw the following update installed today: Security Update to Microsoft Office 2013 (KB5002121) 32-bit Edition
After uninstalling the update the application ran perfectly fine. I have no other conclusion than this update caused it not to run. My client has temporarily turned off the automatic updates. Can anyone else confirm this issue?

hi,
I had the same behavior, I solved it by uninstalling the Kb5002121 for Access 2013 and KB5002112 for Access 2016

I saw another poster report the same error.
However, you don't say what Runtime version of Access is being used. If a Runtime is not being used (as the poster i referred to), what version of Access.
And if they are using any version after 2010, why are you still using MDEs?
hi,
I have several clients who use my access project, some with access runtime 2013 and others with access runtime 2016 but all with the same problem, my project is in accde format generated with access 2016

Access Runtime 2013. Yes, I know I need to move on to ACCDE. But would that have made a difference? Does it break ACCDE files too? Unfortunately, I did not think of that while troubleshooting my client's issue. Thanks for the quick replies.
I have a client that utilizes .accde files that is also experiencing errors after this update.
