I've also seen, only once, a shortcut that was apparently corrupt. Deleting it and replacing it with a new one solved the problem.

I had a situation where every time I tried to import an excel spreadsheet Access would come up with "Unexpected Error", then close down. Eventually it was tracked down to the shortcut being used to open the programme (a virtually identical copy of the FE was opening fine. When we changed its shortcut to the problem FE then the problem went away. When we tried opening the good FE with the corrupt shortcut the good FE started crashing. Our solution was to delete the bad shortcut and make a copy of the good shortcut. Never found out why the shortcut should have caused the problem.)
