Question

What version of Total Visual Agent do I need and what versions of Microsoft Access/VB does it support? 

Answer

Total Visual Agent 2016 is our latest version supporting:

• Microsoft Access 2016, 2013, 2010, 2007, 2003, 2002, 2000, 97, 95, 2.0, 1.1, and 1.0.
• All Jet Databases formats (ACCDB and MDB) from Access 2016 and earlier
• Access Data Projects (ADP) from Access 2010 and earlier (ADP is not supported in Access 2013 or later)
• Jet Engine 4.0, 3.5, 3.0, and 2.0
• Visual Basic 6.0, 5.0, and 4.0

In order to support the ACCDB database format, Total Visual Agent 2016 installs the ACE database engine on your computer if Access 2007 or later is not installed on it.

Total Visual Agent 2003

If you do not need to manage Access 2007-2016 format databases (ACCDB) and don't want ACE installed on your machine, choose Total Visual Agent 2003.

Total Visual Agent 2003 does not require any version of Access to be installed, except if you want to run macros or compact ADPs. Total Visual Agent 2003 supports:

• Microsoft Access 2003, 2002, 2000, 97, 95, 2.0, 1.1, and 1.0.
• Databases and Access Data Projects in Access 2002-2003 format or earlier (MDBs, ADPs, etc.)
• Jet Engine 4.0, 3.5, 3.0, and 2.0
• Visual Basic 6.0, 5.0, and 4.0

Note that Total Visual Agent 2003 does not include all the features in the 2016 version.
