Hi - We have an Access 2003 app (using the Runtime licence), which is used on various versions of Windows (up to 7 64-bit). &nbsp;One of my clients wants to run it on Windows 8, but we have yet to setup a test bed for this.<br />
<br />
In theory, should it work, and are there any pitfalls to watch out for?<br />
<br />
Thank you.

Access 2003 Runtime + Windows 8

Microsoft Access is a rapid application development (RAD) relational database tool. Access can be used for both desktop and web-based applications, and uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as its coding language.

Microsoft Access

Windows 8 is a personal computer operating system developed by Microsoft as part of the Windows NT family of operating systems, with an emphasis on improving its user experience on tablets. In particular, these changes included a touch-optimized Windows shell based on Microsoft's "Metro" design language, the Start screen, a new platform for developing apps with an emphasis on touchscreen input, integration with online services, support for USB 3.0, Advanced Format hard drives, near field communications, and cloud computing. Additional security features were introduced, such as built-in antivirus software, integration with Microsoft SmartScreen phishing filtering service and support for UEFI Secure Boot on supported devices with UEFI firmware.
