It is a runtime error that usually occurs when logging in to MS Access or when Access crashes while running.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-causes-&lsquo;cannot-open-or-run-macro,-because-it-is-not-valid&rsquo;-error?\"><strong>What Causes &lsquo;Cannot open or run macro, because it is not valid&rsquo; Error?<\/strong><\/h2><p>There is no evident reason as to what causes the error. But, based on the user&rsquo;s experience, the error may occur due to one of the following reasons:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Microsoft Access application crashes when editing, saving or closing a macro.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There is a problem with Access macros or the VBA macro code.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Access database containing macros is corrupted or damaged.<\/li>\n<\/ul><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"workarounds-to-fix-&lsquo;cannot-open-or-run-macro,-because-it-is-not-valid&rsquo;-error\"><strong>Workarounds to Fix &lsquo;Cannot open or run macro, because it is not valid&rsquo; Error<\/strong><\/h2><p>Following are some workarounds you can use to troubleshoot the MS Access 32002 runtime error. If a workaround does not work for you, try the following one.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-workaround-1-use-single-step-mode-to-test-the-macro\"><strong>Workaround 1 &ndash; Use Single Step Mode to Test the Macro<\/strong><\/h3><p>Microsoft recommends testing a macro by using a single step mode. Using this mode, you can observe macro execution and results of each macro action. Also, it helps identify any action that leads to an error or any unwanted outcome.<\/p><p><strong>Here&rsquo;s how you can use the single step mode:<\/strong><\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In MS Access, right-click the macro from the &lsquo;Navigation Pane, and select&nbsp;&lsquo;Design View&rsquo;.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click the&rsquo; Design&rsquo; tab in the &lsquo;Tools&rsquo; group, then click &lsquo;Single Step&rsquo;.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Press the&nbsp;Run button. If the macro you want to test is new or edited, follow the prompts to save the macro before running it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A&nbsp;Macro Single Step&nbsp;dialog box will open containing details about the macro and the macro action. Also, it provides information about the error number. If the &lsquo;Error Number&rsquo; box has zero, it means no error has occurred.<\/li>\n<\/ul><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"562\" height=\"346\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/macro-single-step-0.png\" alt=\"macro single step\" class=\"wp-image-92726 apply-gradient-on-post-images\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/macro-single-step-0.png 562w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/macro-single-step-0-300x185.png 300w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/macro-single-step-0-380x234.png 380w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/macro-single-step-0-550x339.png 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 562px) 100vw, 562px\" \/><\/figure><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Take any of these steps:<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click &lsquo;Step&rsquo; to perform the action displayed in the&nbsp;Macro Single Step&nbsp;dialog box.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click &lsquo;Stop All Macros&rsquo; to stop the macro and exit the dialog box.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click &lsquo;Continue&rsquo; to switch single stepping off and run the rest of the macro.<\/li>\n<\/ul><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-workaround-2-run-ms-access-database-without-vba-code\"><strong>Workaround 2 &ndash; Run MS Access Database without VBA code<\/strong><\/h3><p><strong>Note:<\/strong> This workaround only works for ACCDB files; it won&rsquo;t work for ACCDE files.<\/p><p>Press and hold down the &lsquo;shift&rsquo; key when opening an Access database to bypass the code.
