If you’re considering migrating from Access 2003 to Access 2010 (or perhaps you’re already in the process of doing so), there’s a new resource on Office.com that gives you a high-level overview of the changes in the new version: the Access 2010 Migration Guide.
The guide walks you through new features such as the ribbon interface, the Navigation Pane, where to find Access Options, and so on. See the other Office 2010 Migration Guides, and collect all six!

The guide is nice, but it has this completely erroneous assertion in it regarding opening replicated MDBs: "Files created in the Access 2003 format (.mdb) will run in Access 2010, but some features won’t work, including the Database window and the replication feature." It is completely untrue that replication doesn't work. It does. I just checked. Can't Microsoft even keep straight the features of its own productes? ACCDB format doesn't support replication, but both A2007 and A2010 allow you to use and edit and synchronize replicated MDBs. Why is it so hard to keep that straight?
Thanks for your feedback, David. We'll look into the wording of that section of the guide.
Thanks for the catch, David. We have removed the erroneous statement about replication from the guide and the revised version is now live on Office.com. As you correctly pointed out, Access 2010 still supports replication for databases in the earlier .mdb file format. We appreciate your bringing that to our attention!
Such a little thing, I hate to bother you about it, but I have been struggling for days trying to get a field and expression to work on a form I created in Access. Perhaps the problem is the original data base was created in Access 2002-2003 file format, and I am now running Windows 7 Prof, and Access 2007. The data base is for a small home association. I created the data base when I was secretary, and now am serving as treasurer. I added a new table for dues. I am not a developer or programer, just an Access admirer. I purchased several books on Access, have viewed many help areas, and just cannot get it to work. I have a form for member information, and created a subform for dues. I created a calculated control for each years balance, and it works fine. In the subform footer, I added a text box and in the control property entered =Sum([yrbalance]) - referring to the field name of the values I want to sum. Although the formula is accepted, I continue to get an error message when I go to form view. Until I get this to work, I can't put this information on the main form. Any chance you could/would help me with this. (Please)
