Access 2010 & Window 7

[SlowPoke]

I had to replace my work computer so now I have Windows 7 home premium and office 2010. I'm connected to a network. I've had some issues. I create a shortcut on my desktop for an access application and it doesn't open the application. It works if I open access up locally and then go to the network directory and open the application. Does anyone have any idea what is going on? I noticed something else that I think is a problem. When I open access 2010, click options, at the general options screen at the " Default file format for blank databse:" dropdown I don't have Acess 2010 as a choice. I would think I should see 2010, am I correct?

If this is a work computer then you probably should upgrade Windows 7 to Professional or higher. It can all be upgraded using he new "Upgrade Anytime" built in feature. It will do it over the internet similar to Windows update. Very cool.

I don't think so. I think you will only see the Access 2007. AFAIK, 2010 uses the 2007 (.accdb) format. Just like Access 2002 and 2003 were same format.
