DTOO136 - Access - The Default file format must be set.

Information

When users create new database files, Access saves them in the new Access format. Users can change this functionality by clicking the Office button, clicking Access Options, and then selecting a file format from the Default file format list.
If a new database is created in an inappropriate format, some users might be unable to open or use it.

Solution

Set the policy value for User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Microsoft Access 2010 -> Miscellaneous 'Default File Format' to 'Enabled (Access 2007)'.
