Issues that this hotfix package fixes

This hotfix fixes the following issues that are not previously documented in a Microsoft Knowledge Base article:

• You use source control to control your Access 2007 database. You change the code module in Visual Basic Editor, and then you close the Visual Basic Editor without saving changes. When you check the object back in and use the Get Last Version feature, the code changes are not there.
  
• After you set the main form's recordset in Access 2007, the subform becomes blank. You may also receive the following error message:
  Run-time error 2467 - The expression you entered does not exist.
• You experience slower performance than you did in earlier versions of Access when you share a database file over a network.
  
• The file size of an Access 2007 file spontaneously increases in increments of 4 KB after you open and close a form. The file growth can be seen even when the form is closed.
