Access 2010 Compatibility with Office 2013

[mph323]

Sorry if this has been done to death, I couldn't find it when I searched. If so I'd appreciate it if someone would please point me at the right thread

My company is forcing everyone to Microsoft Office 2013. Access isn't automatically included with the suite, requiring a separate request and (painfully bureaucratic) approval process. I've been developing in Access 2010 and I need to know if we can continue using 2010 or if we'll be required to update to the 2013 version to continue using our database. We're a small group of users who access the database directly. Please let me know if further information is needed, and thanks in advance!

You might need to check any references to Office Application (e.g. outlook) but you can install the 2010 or 2013 runtime and it should work fine for those that don't need to develop. Those that need to develop/use in anger can continue to use the 2010 version already loaded.
