I have not verified this, but someone I was chatting with in an online Forum said that adding Access to the Windows Firewall Exception list solved a problem he had with Access crashing often.
Start > Control Panel > Security > Windows Firewall > Allow a Program Through Windows Firewall > Add Program on the Exceptions tab.
I've also read that this can greatly enhance performance if your Access database uses linked tables ESPECIALLY if those tables are on the Internet (SQL Server or SharePoint).
Sorry, only students may add comments.
