Access 2013 Upgrade Now Can Not Use Access 2010 Files

Asked By Edith J Tucker 80 points N/A Posted on - 02/09/2015

 

I am in trouble after upgrading to Access 2013 tonight. I can no longer use any files that I had from Access 2010. I really need these files for my clients taxes. How can I get these to work in 2013 or down grade back to 2010?  I can not wipe out my files to start over.

Access 2013 Upgrade Now Can Not Use Access 2010 Files

Hi, Edith J Tucker sorry but you cannot open those file you have to downgrade your Mirc Acces so you can open it. Because Access 2010, Access 2013 and Access 2007 all use the same file format you can use Access 2007 to open the database that was created in Access 2013 or Access 2010 without first using the Save As command. However, Access 2010 and Access 2013 include some features that require Microsoft Access 2013 and Access 2010 to run. Depending on the feature, one of the following might happen when you try to use the database in Access 2007.
