[AccessD] Access 2010 runtime etc. - Access Database Engine Redistributable 2010

Hi Doug

This is interesting if not breaking news as I can only read this as mdb and accdb files now can be attached in a clean 64-bit environment:

Access Database Engine Redistributable 2010
Formerly known as Office Connectivity Component, Access Database Engine 2010 is now available in both 32-bit and 64-bit.

This download will install a set of components that can be used by non-Microsoft Office applications to read data from and write data to Office 2010 system files such as Microsoft Access 2010 (mdb and accdb) files and Microsoft Excel 2010 (xls, xlsx, and xlsb) files. 

and further at the download link:

2.If you are an application developer using OLEDB, set the Provider argument of the ConnectionString property to "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.14.0". 
If you are connecting to Microsoft Office Excel data, add "Excel 14.0" to the Extended Properties of the OLEDB connection string. 

3.If you are application developer using ODBC to connect to Microsoft Office Access data, set the Connection String to
 "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb)};DBQ=path to mdb/accdb file"
