What does that mean, well it means that newer version can understand older versions, but older version cannot be expected to accommodate changes, new features added after the software was released. This basically implies that the developer should be the last person to upgrade!!! (which seems very counter intuitive) Why Is This Necessary?īeyond the obvious reason: not getting the above error, the reason why this is necessary is simply explained by the fact that software, all software, is backward compatible, but not forwards compatible. You must use the oldest/lowest common denominator. In such a case, all development MUST be done using Access 2007 or prior. You must do ALL your development using the oldest version of Microsoft Access that will ever be used to run the database! A Concrete ExampleĬoncretely, what does that mean? Well, let’s assume a scenario where a developer has users/clients who run Access 2007, 2016, 2019 & Office/Microsoft365.
