Why does my Access 2013 database save as Access 2010?
Posted on 2014-11-20
Hello,
I have both Access 2013 and Access 2010 on my computer.
I created a new database in Access 2013 and saved it to my C drive as such. It has the extention .accdb. However, it actually saved as an Access 2010 database (as seen by the icon next to the file name) and when I open the database from Windows Explorer, it opens in Access 2010.
However, if I open Access 2013 first and then open my database from the "Recent" list on the left, it opens in Access 2013.
How can I get the database to save as an Access 2013 database on my C drive?
Thank you.

I do not believe that Access 2013 uses a significantly different format to Access 2010, so I do not think it does save it as an Access 2010 database.
I think it is your computer interpreting which version of Access has the priority.

To re-associate your files as Access 2013 files, run the Office set up and select Repair Office.

You should find that it opens with the last version you used, which is the one that gets registered as the default version.
If you want it to open with a specific version, you have to:
1. Start that version, then open the file
or
2. Create a shortcut pointing to a specific version and use the short cut.

Thanks, Jim. I already closed this issue so I regret that I cannot assign points to you. But I appreciate your help because I will actually need to use both versions.
