Access/Excel - differing versions

Would any data be compromised if the excel version used to link to an access database was a later version (eg Excel 2007 linking to Access 2003) ?

RE: Access/Excel - differing versions

Hi Alexis, Thank you for your post, In answer to your question I cannot see any reason for the data to be compromised as Excel can accept input data from a wide range of input data sources, using the Data - Import External Data operation will show you. I hope that helps best regards Pete


 

Access tip:

Switchboard Startup

An option when you open your Access database that contains all of you tables, forms and queries is only the switchboard is displayed.

To achieve this, select Tools click on Startup. On the right hand side of the Startup screen you are able to select which form you want to open when you open you Access Database. Once you have selected this, there is a check box just below that says "Display Database Window", you need to uncheck this option. Then click ok.

Then when you close you Access database and re open it, the database should open with just the switchboard being shown
