I'm in the process of developing a reasonably simple Access database for work. Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond my control I am limited to using Access 2000.
I thought a good option instead would be to develop a C# Windows Forms application that directly interfaced with the Access database. As far as I know this should allow me to use a more up-to-date version of Access (I have 2013) for the back-end without requiring my employer to upgrade their licenses of Access 2000.
Is this correct? If I simply deploy my C# app to all the clients and stick the Access database on a network share everyone will be able to use it?
I don't want to start development and find out that I have made incorrect assumptions hence the question.
Any help is appreciated.
