I have Office Professional 2013.

I have it installed on an Asus Laptop running Windows 8.1.

Also OP 2010 on Windows 7.

I open 99% of my files through "File Explorer" as I have several thousand (files) sorted into numerous sub-folders.

Whenever I open an Access file to check some details and then close it WITHOUT MAKING CHANGES "File Explorer" shows that Access has automatically changed the "Date Modified" to the most recent date and time that I open and then close the file.

This is despite the fact that the last time I may have made a change whether in design or data entry to the file was 2 - 5 years earlier.

This is unbelievably annoying.

Please have the Microsoft programming department make a modification so that the "Modified Date" policy is the same for all Office Professional programs and will only be updated if changes to design or data entries have been made. Please apply this to Access 2010, 2013 and 2016. I like many people have several computers with different Office Pro versions.

I sometimes have several hundred to a thousand files of very similar names and use the Date Modified to sort or get information from them.

Why is it that if you open a MS Word 2013 file and close it without changes there is NO date change to "Date Modified" when you view the file in File Explorer?

or

If you open a MS Excel 2013 file and close it without changes there is NO date change to "Date Modified" when you view the file in File Explorer?

Sometime if you make a change in Excel or Word and then decide against it both programs first ask if you want to update changes and if you say no Word and Excel store the original dates and DO NOT CHANGE THE FILE DATE TO THE MOST CURRENT DATE OF OPENING.

Yet if you open MS Access 2013 and close it without changes there is ALWAYS a date change to "Date Modified" when you view the file in File Explorer?

If a solution currently exists to stop the date from changing when there have not been any changes then I would appreciate knowing how to stop it.

I have gone through the Microsoft Community and other sources and wasted several days to solve this problem but no-one seems to have an answer. In the process of searching I have found many other people frustrated with the date change problem .

Why is there no continuity in Microsofts multiple program designs with respect to this problem.

I have been buying Office Pro & access when it was a separate program for as long as they existed and have always had this problem. I never had this problem when I also used Paradox.

Thank you

Since 8/1/2018, MS Access has been crashing repeatedly on multiple machines in our office. We are on 64 bit Office 365 and Windows 10. It appears some bug must have been introduced during one of the automatic updates.

This crash appears to occur with automation where I think a second instance of MS Access is calling an MS access program, but not totally sure:
