How are you creating the database? If programmatically there is no such choice in DBEngine.CreateDatabase.
If manually, you can create a database, and then Save As an older version, such as here in Access 365:
Database version
Hey everyone
This wiki table is referiong to different Access ACE database versions:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Access_Database_Engine
ie ACE 14 supports database version 3.x and 4.0
ACE 15 and 16 only support database version 4.0
My question is that when creating new accdb or mdb blank database files using Access 2010 or 2016 can we specifiy that database version?
Because I will need to work with those database files using OleDbDataReader in .net framework and mostly Access database engine 2010 will be installed, so using .net can we retrieve the database file version?
Any info can be helpful and greatly appreciated
