about MS Access 2016. I was reminded of a problem which MS Access developers need to be aware of before they Install MSAccess 2016.. You don't have any options on install, in other words it removes your old versions of MS Access!

It was Garry Robinson's very entertaining blog here:- http://vb123.blogspot.co.uk/2015/11/whoa-there-nelly-office-2016-install-is.html?m=1

Where I read about it. ( No first hand experience)

wow

I wonder if it does this while upgrading a office365 installation?

I have A2003, A2007, A2010 and A2013/365 all peacefully coexisting at present.

I think Microsoft should give developers a free laptop to run it on!

Does it meddle with previous runtime?
