Question Options/General/Default File Format ??

[Larry G]

I'm a new user to Access 2010. In the past I managed to create some really neat databases using A2K.

In Access 2010 is there a way to change the default file fomat BACK to 2010??

I'm the process of trying to learn more about Access 2010 via the book..."Access 2010 Bible".

Since all of my old work in A2K, I wanted to see what would happen in 2010 if I changed the Default File Format from 2010 to 2000 (via the Options Menu in the General Tab). Before I played around, after reading a bit more the book mentions most of the samples are done in 2010 fromat...so I tried to change the default file settting back to 2010...BUT..2010 is no longer is a choice.

Sure hope I didn't screw up.

I would greatly appreciate receiving any instruction or guideance as to how I can change the setting back to 2010.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

By the way Larry, there is no 2010 format. It is 2007 format that 2010 uses.
