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

I did have one but changed it and did not change.still the same problem.

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

I think once you set the BigInt property, it is set. If you removed the BigInt, and reset the property and still have the problem, try creating a new database and importing everything.
