    Hi John,

    Office 2016 came out September 2015 and MapInfo Pro 16 released August 2016.

    See this statement from the MapInfo Pro 16 release notes, found here: http://reference1.mapinfo.com/software/mapinfo_pro/english/16.0/MapInfoProReleaseNotes.pdf

    MapInfo Pro supports Microsoft Excel ( *.xls , *.xlsx) and Microsoft Access (*.mdb, *.accdb) formats for versions 1997 to 2016. Hope this helps.

    Are you having issues with Office and MapInfo Pro?

    Hey John,

    No Problem. If users have 32 bit Office and 64 bit MapInfo Pro they will want to check this article: https://li360.pitneybowes.com/s/article/Resolve-crashes-for-users-having-both-MapInfo-Pro-32-bit-and-64-bit-Discover-bundle-or-non-bundle-on-a-PC-with-Microsoft-Office-2013-32-bit-are-installed
