Thanx to all of you who jumped in on this thread. I don't know why my client installed Office 64-bit. Regardless of why, that's what they've got and there ain't nothin I can do about it. What I wasn't aware of is that Access 2010 is NOT 64-bit. Anyway, I found the reason why my runtime app won't work...because I converted it to accde first. According to TechNet: "Databases that have had their source code removed (such as .mde, .ade, and .accde files) cannot be moved between 32-bit and 64-bit editions of Office 2010. Such databases that are created by using 32-bit Office (any version) can be used only with 32-bit Office, and a database that is created on 64-bit Office can be used only on 64-bit Office." So, if A2010 is 32-bit does that mean even if I create an accde from A2010 and package as a runtime it still won't run in Office 64? --DB -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Drew Wutka Sent: Wednesday, May 11, 2011 8:36 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [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!!!)

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. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Steve Erbach Sent: Wednesday, May 11, 2011 9:52 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] Access 32 vs 64-bit John, >> Microsoft does everything they can to encourage people not to use it. >> << Fascinating.
