Access noob - but I sure need some help

Hello - I have Access 365 on my laptop (I recently discovered). At work, I use Access 2010. I saved my database (that I did not build) and opened it on my laptop. 
I got the dangerous MACROS error and followed Microsoft suggestion to go to Properties of the file and UNBLOCK. Then I added Trusted file locations. 

So the database is all there, but FORMS will not run. Error message says the objectname is pointing to an object that is closed. Autoexec, Form, Find a Record and Inventory all give me error messages - all different. 

 

Also - coincidentally, the Access 2010 version on the desktop is now also giving me an error message when I try to open Forms - that says I may be in a read-only database or unconverted database.. The only thing I have done on the DB today was save it. 

 

ANY HELP is appreciated. My boss is going to have a cow.

    Is it possible you installed the 64 bit version of Access 365 instead of the 32 bit version?

      I think I figured it out. I imported the database in to 365 and it seems to be working. I also think I was clicking on wrong thing.

      Thanks for your time.
