Microsoft Access 2007/2010 Compatibility???? Help?

Question

Hi, I wanna know if MS Access 2010 is compatible with MS Access 2007 and vice versa? My uni has Microsoft Access 2007 on their computers but I have Microsoft Access 2010 on my laptop and I'll be needing to work on the database (an assignment) between uni and home

Answer 1

Microsoft did not change formats when MS office 2010 came out. Unlike the upgrade from 2003 to 2007 which still haunts some of us because of the change in format from .doc to .docx, .ppt to .pptx and so on.



MS office 2010 retains the exact same format as the MS office 2007, so there should be no compatibility issue. However there are some issues do to the lack of some graphical features in 2007, but in general that is not an issue. Despite 2007 lacking some features the contents can be viewed with no issues whatsoever.



The main changes microsoft made to 2010 was the user interface, templates, fonts these are superficial features. As long as the format is the same, you can definitely work with both version at hand.



You should not be facing any problems with compatibility of MS office 2007 to MS office 2010. The biggest change was for MS outlook anyways, the rest of the software in the MS office suite are quite the same.

Answer 3

I believe they're both compatible, 07 with 10 and 10 with 07. You can open files in either of them (Without having to save as an older version file)



I think the 03 and 07 had a different compatibility. But I'm pretty sure you'll be good to go with 07 and 10. Good luck!
