My database (with ODBC backend) is used by around 10 users in distant locations. The db is written in Access 2010 and they all have the 2010 runtime installed--all works well. I am contemplating a move to Office 365 for on the development computer--will any of the runtime users encounter problems running the Access 365 versions on their 2010 runtime? If so, I need to keep one computer without the 365 installation--I assume I cannot run both on the same computer? I haven't been able to find out details of backwards compatibility. Thanks.

not tested but my guess would be yes - earlier versions of access will not run later versions. I've yet to speak with anyone who has nice things to say about 365 Access so I would research thoroughly, and if serious about upgrading, just do one machine and test, test, test.
