Office xp to Ofice 2013

Question

I just went from Office xp to Office 2013. I was able to open my Office xp database in Access . The opening screen in xp presented me with a form that would allow me to select whether I wanted to enter income. enter expenses, or create a report. Making a selection would open the form for that function. When I open the database in Access 2013 the individual forms (income, expense and report function properly but the opening form does not open the form for the chosen function.

Hi John,

From your description, I understand your issue is about using old version of Access database in Access 2013. So I'll move your thread to the dedicated MSDN forum for Access for better response:

The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.

Answer 2

If your database is any VBA code, you need to first create a trusted location for the database front end.  Then things should fall into place.

Also, it would be a good idea to compile your code again to insure everything is coshure.
