    Shifting Access 2007 MultiUser Application to Access 2013

    I want to start using MS Access 2013. Do I have to make any change in my Access 2007 Multiuser Application ACCDB file in order to shift to Access 2013 ? Do I have to recompile and make fresh ACCDE files to deploy them on users machines? Some users have 2007, some have 2010 and some have 2013 versions of Access. Please help.

    It sounds as though you have a split DB where the backend file resides on a file server. Before distributing front end files to users with A2013 you will want to check to see if there are any broken references. I suspect any references to Microsoft Office will automatically update to the current version. There may be other references that need to be changed to match the software on that machine.

    Some features are different in Access 2013. You will want to make sure that controls in forms and reports work OK. You will also want to make sure that any Macro Objects you created perform correctly while using Microsoft Office.

    EDIT: I forgot to link this...
