I ended that article with some final thoughts:
Today is June 26. Quarterly bills for my client go out in less than a week.

Message indicates "There isn't enough free memory to update the display"
Please give me a call at your earliest convenience.

The Bug Fix
The good news is the bug appears to have been fixed.
George Hepworth updated the original article with the particular Windows updates (released on July 9, 2024) that seem to fix the issue:
A major thank you as always to our friends over at AccessForever.org for providing a central hub for tracking the latest Access bugs, fixes, and workarounds.
They certainly saved me some stress on my vacation!
