WARNING: Altering DBs in Access 2010 may make them not run under 2

R

Rick Schneider

I have multiple computers, and thought I would try the beta of Office 2010 on
2 of them, so uninstalled 2007 and installed 2010. On one of these machines
I made several changes to an Access DB. I then tried to open it on a machine
with Access 2007 and received an error message that it could not open the
file, that it was likely corrupt. It still opens fine on the beta machine,
as well as another machine with 2010 beta on it.

It may be related to 2010 eliminating MSCAL.OCX. I had to clear the
"missing" reference in references in VB as it is no longer supported (MS
doesn't say why they made this change).

Anyhow, be aware of it. Because of all the changes I made I am going
completely beta now, which I am uncomfortable with, but it seems pretty
stable.
