Since the most recent Office 365 (1706) update Action queries make Access crash in foreign language installation.  It does not appear to impact English editions.

The Microsoft Access Dev Team was advised of the issue.

The only known workaround is to open the query in design view and run it from there or uninstall (or what Microsoft is now referring to as Revert) the latest update.

Update 2017-08-15

The Dev Team reports that it has been fixed in current O365 builds (build 8326.*, version 1707).  So be sure to force a manual update of your Office installation.  That said, there is a problem with 1707 in which the mouse scroll doesn’t work in continuous forms, you can learn more at http://www.devhut.net/bugs/access-2016-form-scrolling-doesnt-work/
