Access 2003, 2007, 2010, compatibility
Two years ago I stopped developing in Access 2003, about when Access-2007 was introduced.
My 2003 application actually runs ok inside Access 2007. Now I see Access 2010 is out.
Should I expect my 2003 application to run inside 2010 ?
I'm debating about purchasing 2003 /2007 / 2010 to pick up on maintaining a 2003 application, plus some new development.

Yes it should run on Access 2010 too. There were no big changes to 2007, more a sort of "service release" ;-))
Cool. Be sure to SKIP A2007.
Also .. many new features in A2010 in conjunction with Sharepoint 2010 for web stuff.
Our IT dept started deploying O2010 this week at work ... 1000's of users ...

And what ?? Looking at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff955606.aspx#odc_office14_ta_WhatsNewforOffice2010Developers_Access2010
I only see data macros as a new feature.
But for a developer who has an Access 2003 application which is also tested to run on 2007
there is almost no change...
Still the VBA Editor from last century ;-))
