[AccessD] 32 vs 64

[Jim Dettman]

 That's the way to tackle it.   Also a couple of references to help:

Take a read through:

Compatibility Between the 32-bit and 64-bit Versions of Office 2010
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee691831(office.14).aspx

Especially read the section "Introducing the VBA 7 Code Base" for the
general overview.

All the new 64 bit calls those that were modified for 64 bit:

0
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa383663(VS.85).aspx

 These have all the declare's you will need for calling anything in the
WinAPI.

Jim.

Looks like I gotta set up a VM on my box and load 54-bit Office and try it.

right places)?  >>

Answer: it depends.

 If it has no calls to 3rd party DLL's, or references set to Active X
controls, then yes.

 Between PtrSafe and conditional complier constants, you can handle both 32
and 64 bit Access with a single DB.

<< Can an accde be made on the 64 bit Access install and run on other Office
64
bit boxes?>>

  No, not with 32 bit.   Because it's an .accde and lacking source code,
Access cannot re-compile on the fly.   You would need to create a .accde for
64 bit with Access 64 bit.

Can an accde be made on the 64 bit Access install and run on other Office 64
bit boxes?
