Hi,
I have an issue with transferring a database from one computer to another. Namely, I developed a database on a computer in Access 2013 (on Win10). Now, I want to transfer it to another computer that uses Access 2007 (on WinVista).
The database is not splited.
I copied the database to a flash drive and it could not be opened on another computer.
How do I transfer the database?
Thank you for your time and help!

You should always develop in the lowest version your users are using. A Access 2007 installation is not likely to be able to open an Access 2013 developed app.
You can try saving the app as an mdb (2003-2003 format) and distribute it that way. Or have the user upgrade. Or install the 2013 Runtime and run it through there.
