Access 2013 Quick Start Guide

How to work with people
who don’t yet have Access 2013
Here are some things to keep in mind when sharing or exchanging les with
people who are using an older version of Access.
In Access 2013… What happens? What should I do?
You open a database le
that was created with
Access 2007.
You can use Access 2013 to open and use les that were created in
Access 2007. However, you will not be able to view or use features
like Pivot Tables or conditional formatting.
Import just the tables and then reapply formats in Access 2013.
You save your database
as an Access 2007 le.
You will be able to open and use the database. Nothing.
You save your database
as an Access 2010 le.
Access 2007 and 2010 use the same le format. If you published
an Access 2010 web database and open it in Access 2013, you will
only be able to view it; you will not be able to modify it.
If you published an Access 2010 database as a web database and
want to later change it to an Access app, import the data into
a custom web app.
