Access has also changed its file format to an XML-based format, using the .accdb extension. The new formats are not backward-compatible. Therefore, people using any older versions of Office will not be able to open files saved in the new formats. Since it will be some time before a majority of users have Office 2007, save files in the old formats if you intend to distribute them to other users, or ensure that they have installed the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack, which allows older versions of Office to open (but not create) the new format files. |
