[[CCMDB.accdb]] uses MS Access 2010~~, which is part of MS Office 2010~~. Upgrading any part of MS Office ~~breaks~~ functionality, ~~even if MS Access is left as 2010. Support for MS Office 2010 expired Oct 2020 and~~ we ~~are looking into what it would take for us~~ to ~~move to a newer version of MS Office~~.

[[CCMDB.accdb]] uses a mix of MS Access 2010 and 2019. Upgrading any part of MS Office can break functionality, so we need to test first whenever there might be an upgrade.

== Shared Health project to upgrade to MS Office 2019 ==

As of 2021-04 there is a project to upgrade all remaining workstations using older versions of office to Office 2019~~. Emails have gone out (at least at GRA) stating that there will be no exceptions~~. We ~~have contacted the project team and were given an exception for now.~~ '''Ryan Garcia''' ~~will work with us on a solution.~~

As of 2021-04 there is a project to upgrade all remaining workstations using older versions of office to Office 2019. We are working with '''Ryan Garcia''' from the upgrade project team to move our dbs over to 2019. As of 2021-06-29, all collector laptops should now be updated and we are testing the main office programs.

~~== Plan ==~~

~~We are looking for an alternate solution~~ to ~~[[CCMDB.accdb]] anyway (see [[Transition to Database Server]]). The change will cause extra work and disruptions, so ideally we would like to only make this change once and~~ move to our ~~new solution directly without first updating~~ to 2019.

~~== Problems in CCMDB.accdb with Office 2019/365 ==~~

~~Tina forgot to document details at the time, her note only says "Tried to install office 2019~~, ~~but this broke CCMDB when copied back to~~ collector laptops ~~due to 64-bit conflict; further library reference failures after uninstall of 2019~~ and ~~reinstall of 2010"~~

~~{{Discuss |~~

* Herman has that version, so I emailed him to update here what the ~~problems were when he upgraded~~.
