migration from 2010 to 2016

[leonardo.massei]

Hi to all,
i've an Access 2010 db application and I need to make a porting to Access 2016.
My old access db has some reports (linked to DBF tables), some tables, some form
(with simple component such as button, label, listbox, etc) and some VBA codes
(class modules and modules).

The questions are: there are some difficult to make the porting for Access 2016 ?
Is Access 2016 full compliant with the report format of Access 2010 ? Which are
the main differences between A2010 and A2016 ?

Thanks in advance
Leonard

there were a number of changes from 2010 and 2013. From 2013 to 2016 the changes were mainly cosmetic.

See this link for the changes from 2010 to 2013

I note you refer to DBF tables - so take note of the fact the you cannot connect to DBase from 2013

Thanks for reply,
so in A2013 is not possible to connect to a DBase table ... but if I need to connect a DBase table,
how I can do ? Is it possible with VBA code open a DBase connection ?

Best Regards
Leonard

I've not tried, but the implication is that you can't. I would google 'dbase connection strings' to see if you can connect directly via a query or adodb
