[AccessD] Access 32 vs 64-bit

What did you install it on?  On a NICE system, it does perform better
than 32 bit Offices.  But the true 'performance' is the ability to go
beyond the 32 bit restrictions. But it looks like Access 2010 is stuck
with the 2007 Access db version, so it doesn't have a 64 bit database
version. (Imagine 64 bit integer fields, a 64 bit Currency field!!!)

Problems. Little if any support for 3rd party add-ins, Active X
controls,
etc. 

I installed it once (MSDN) and it made no difference in performance so I
canned it.

John,

Fascinating.  Why is that?
