Question Access 2016 runtime

[rochbouc]

I've created a database in access 2016 and install access 2016 runtime on two separate computers. When i try to open the database with the computer with runtime 2016 i get a message that i can't open it because it's the wrong version. then the program closes. What can i do to fix this problem?

Are you using the new Large Number datatype?
If so, the database can't be opened in earlier version of Access 2016 or any other previous version.
My guess is the 2016 runtime version that you have doesn't support it either

Have a look on the MS website whether any other datatypes have been included since the runtime was released
