[AccessD] Using macros - good thing or bad?

...from my perspective, the problem with 64 bit vba/Access is that almost 
all current ocx's are 32 bit and will not work in 64 bit Access

...this is a major consideration when upgrading clients to 64 bit Win 7 
...Office 2010 comes with both 32 and 64 bit versions on the same disk ...my 
apps make extensive use of the treeview/listview control and so far there 
appears to be no 64 bit support ...not to mention that such things as Lebans 
RTF control will likely never be upgraded ...so initial installs of win 7/64 
will still require the 32 bit A2010 with a later reinstall of the 64 bit 
version when controls become available ...how problematic such an upgrade 
will be remains to be seen.
