The Access runtime is a totally separate installation of a version of Access on a computer that is independent of any version of Access or office the user may have on the computer. If you don't have a shortcut that opens your application using the runtime version your going to have the problems your seeing. We install our Access 2002 runtime on many computers having various versions of Office on them or not. Our application runs in Access 2002, not whatever version of Access the user has. We install the Access runtime. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Darrell Burns Sent: Wednesday, May 11, 2011 9:44 AM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] Access 32 vs 64-bit ".do you provide a short cut that runs the Access file under your runtime install?" Hey Doug. I didn't explicitly create a shortcut but why would that matter? --DB -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Doug Murphy Sent: Wednesday, May 11, 2011 9:17 AM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] Access 32 vs 64-bit Darrell, If your providing a runtime why is the app. trying to run from Access 64? Your runtime should run independently of the installed version. When you install the runtime do you provide a short cut that runs the Access file under your runtime install?

I developed a 32-bit Access 2007 app with VBA code that uses DAO exclusively for data access and has no add-ins. My client has Windows 7 64-bit PCs running Office 2010 64-bit. I delivered the app as a 2007 runtime package and it didn't work at their place. The app runs fine on my WinServer2008 machine with Office 2010 32-bit, but I haven't tested it under Office 2010 64-bit. Since my other clients are still operating in the 32-bit world, I can't abandon the 32-bit version. Is there a way to satisfy both worlds with just one version?
