vba - Access Runtime 2013 on WinXP? -
i have access 2013 app have converted 2013 runtime app. runs fine in office 2007 or no office environment.
i have 29 users in india running winxp. fear access 2013 runtime not install on these machines.
i attempted rebuild app in access 2010, calling necessary references, importing forms/tables/code running thru access 2010 runtime. app not run in rt configuration. complains: "...vba project contained cannot read..."
i have narrowed issue down in default display form. if replace simple form & button, not message. if attempt open intended startup form button, message.
i've backed out 64bit/32bit checks - no change. command shell (ping) check if sql server reachable, nothing else terribly exotic in startup form.
any suggestions else for?
best solution if access 2013 runtime install on these xp machines (not tried yet). don't have copy test on here.
from microsoft website access 2013 runtime:
supported operating system
windows 7, windows 8, windows server 2008 r2, windows server 2012
this doesn't mean access 2013 runtime won't run on xp, not supported, meaning if can install , have problems, microsoft won't you.
on other hand, windows xp support is going end on april 8 2014, indian users may advised update os, can't count on happening, in india...
you try using application.saveastext on offending form on access 2013, , using application.loadfromtext in access 2010 on resultant text file. if doesn't work, text file human-readable, , may able figure out incompatible that.
