How would I use the word "accordance"?

If it is in regard to rules/guidelines, is it

  • In accordance with the rules

or

  • in accordance to the rules

Which one should I use?


You say in accordance with the rules. In accordance to the rules just sounds wrong to me. Even when I was typing the previous sentence, my grammar check program complained about it.

You can say

  • According to the rules, ...

or

  • In accordance with the rules, ...

Saying

  • According with the rules, ...

just does not make sense, right? Just how saying

  • In accordance to the rules, ...
