Can Access 2005 be opened in the newest version?

Hi,
I am aware that an Access application built in an older version of Access can run in a newer version of Access. I also know that you can import the objects from the old version into Access (at least 2007) and then refresh the old application, as it were. But now someone has an Access 2005 application. He is going to switch to Windows 10, which will contain the new Access version.
Question is: Can the new Access version open the old Access version (2005)? It is an MDE file.

Thanks

Hi. Not sure there was an Access 2005 version. If the MDE was created using Access 2000 or 2003, then it should open fine in the newer versions of Access. Which Access version would be installed in the new Windows 10 machine?

Hi DBGuy,
Thanks for sofar. The Access version will be the newest version. So it should be no problem.

I said it shouldn't be a problem if the MDE was created using Access 2000 or 2003. So, which version was used to create the MDE?

Oké, I see. I don't no for sure, and I am not in the occasion to check it. But I beleve the MDE is created in the same version as the version is on that machine. In any case, the MDE is made in a version lower than 2007. And they are now going to buy the latest Office.
