[AccessD] Access 2007 Runtime on Windows Server 2012 R2

 Use 2010 and if you can, 2013.  Although be careful with 2013.  Many client
DB features were removed.   A2010 is the last full featured version of
Access for client(desktop) DB's.

 There was a bug in JET/ACE in relation to multi-core processors running
under 64 bit OS's.  Not sure when it was fixed.  Microsoft was pretty mum
about it (it's never been documented to my knowledge).

 2010 should certainly have the fix, but A2007 may not.  It was discovered
when Windows Server 2008 R2 was released.

Subject: [AccessD] Access 2007 Runtime on Windows Server 2012 R2

All,

We have a small Access 2007 "Runtime" application that runs under Windows
Small Business Server 2003.  This scheduled application runs every night in
an unattended mode.  It pulls data from a SQL Server database and generates
several reports (PDF) that are automatically e-mailed to select employees.  

We are now migrating to new server hardware which will be running Windows
Server 2012 R2.

Will an Access 2007 (Runtime) application work properly under Windows Server
2012 R2?

Would it be better to use Access 2010 Runtime?

Thanks,
Brad
