Question Help!!!! accdb 2007-2010 problems!!!!

[moishy]

I created an accdb using Access 2010, it opens in both Access 2007 and 2010.

The problem is that any changes made using one version are not shown in the other version.

I spent all day yesterday changing and adding things, I saved all changes, opened the file in A2007 and everything was fine, I then opened the file in A2010 and now none of the changes are there (even when opened in A2007).

On a side note: In A2010 I couldn't save the file as a mdb, I got the message about having functionality that isn't supported in mdb (which isn't true, and as proof I created an empty 2007 accdb, imported all objects from the A2010 accdb, and then successfully saved as mdb).

Update:
If I open the A2010 accdb in A2007 it will show all the changes only if the file is in the same location as when it was edited in A2007.

What kind of changes are you making that aren't getting saved?

 

[moishy]

All changes.
Changes in layout, addition of access objects (tables, forms etc.), deletion of access objects...

Pretty weird. How do you save?

 

[moishy]

ctl+s or the save button.

 

[vbaInet]

What about clicking on the SAVE button instead? Have you Debug > Compiled as well?

 

[moishy]

I don't see why that should make a difference. In any event I tried both with no change.

When you're Testing in software development you test every means of saving, whether it be by clicking on a button or using a shortcut. You will be suprised that you can get different behaviours in your approaches.

There might be something wrong with your database or your Access installations. What about on a new db?

 

[moishy]

I haven't been able to reproduce the problem on my computers. I'll try again on the clients machine when I get a chance.

Oki doki. Let us know how it goes.
