How to find out your Access Version you using so you can get registered on this site.

[robtess]

When reg for this forum one of the Questions was what Access Version are you using. There was no explanation on how to find this information out. If you leave the Q blank it won't process your registration. You are given a dropdown menu and have to select one of the options. After a search on google i was told to look under settings.
I came up with (I am unable to cut and past this information here so you will have to take my word for what i type here)



Edition Windows 10 Home
Version 1511
OS Build 10586.545
System type 64-bit operating System,x64-based processor

Under information about your computer i found
Windows edition windows 10 home
2015 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved

Windows activation
windows is activated
Product ID :written here

The options i was given under the drop down menu were
Access 2002
Access 2003
Access 2007
Access 2010 32 bit
Access 2010 64 bit
Access 2013 32 bit
Access 2013 64 bit
Access 2016

So i could get registered i relented and decided to lie (which i try not to and hate doing) and and took a guess at "Access 2002".

After having thought on this i think my Access should be
Access 2015 64 bit (but i wasn't given that option)

I wasn't given this option of Access 2015 64 bit so am still in the same predicament and need to find out how i can find out which option i am. I dont understand what is the meaning of the different Access is and can only assume they were made in 2002,2003,2007,2013,and 2016. Since my OP was installed in 2015 and am on a 64 bit system i now presume that i would have been given "Access 2013 64 bit"but that is a guess too.

If any one could give me a clue of what i am missing here it would be greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance robtess

By default, Microsoft Office will install as 32bit. You need to define your desire to install 64bit during the install of Office or Access. This is regardless of the operating system being 64bit O.S.

If you search for a list of applications installed, what does it indicate? Does it show a shortcut for Access 2013?

It is a good guess you have Access 2013 32 bit.

To be honest, I am not sure where the heck the About Window is anymore. There is a way you can check using VBA code, though.

While in Access, you can go to the Immediate window (Ctrl-G) and type
?version

An Access will print, the version number.

In my case
?version
14.0

But that is really a release code. To find out the association between such codes and "what people refer to as Access version" see this info from FMS

And to determine 64bit vs 32bit, the following VBA will help.

#If Win64 Then 
' Win64=true, Win32=true, Win16= false 
#ElseIf Win32 Then 
' Win32=true, Win16=false 
#Else 
' Win16=true 
#End If

Perhaps. But in my Access 2010, there is no Account option when I click File??
Maybe I'm clicking the wrong File??
