If I, using Access 2010 desktop version, make an accdb file for my client, and they have Access 2007 desktop version, I'm thinking that should generally speaking be acceptable, right?
Note: No ActiveX controls, no calendars, no API functions.
This will be a very limited-purpose database - a SINGLE file that they will use on a single machine for the purpose of importing, analyzing, processing and manipulating large datasets at once. So the database will pretty much just be local tables, lots of queries, perhaps a simple form with a tab control, and lots of VBA functions.
Only 1 person at a time will be using it to process data, once per day or week.
I would have them install 2010 (which is what I'm using to develop it), it's just that they saw a super cheap 2007 license and wanted to do that - I told them I think that will be OK. Was I right? All you experts in versions and how they play well or not with each other ...
