[AccessD] Access 2007 compatibility with Access 2013

Jim,

  Make sure they run the 32 bit version of Office.

  Starting with 2010, Access is a bit picky about syntax and what not, so
you might have some remedial work to do, but nothing should give you a major
headache.  Make sure the app is error free as it stands now and check right
after conversion as well. 

  Also, MSCAL.OCX (calendar control) is no longer included.  You'll need to
switch to the native date/time picker or use a 3rd party control.

  Outside of that, 2007 to 2013 or running the 2007 DB in 2013 should give
little trouble.

Jim.

Subject: [AccessD] Access 2007 compatibility with Access 2013

I created a database for a non-profit organization that has been running
for about 4 years with no problems.
It was written in Access 2007.  They will be "upgrading" to Office 2013 in
the very near future.
Will there be any compatibility issues that I need to know about?
Thanks,
Jim
