Version of Access

Carol Herriot

5 years ago

I have Office 365 subscription product that includes Access. I understand that Access was retired from Office 365 in 2018.

My databases say (Access 2007 - 2016 File Format) after the path and file name.

What version of Access do I have AND do I need to worry about updating?

If you have a 365 subscription you have the latest version. It isn't / wasn't retired but they sure make it difficult to find. Access is kind of a "red headed stepchild" for some reason and they don't update it as frequently as say Word or Excel but it is updated. Check out this article for more info: Is Microsoft Access Going Away?

Yes, you should have the latest version with O365, If you want to check what version you have though, you can click File -> Account -> next to About Access button, you can also check that you have automatic download/install enabled on the Office Updates button there.

You scared me for a minute... Whew. Glad to know Access isn't going anywhere. :)
