[AccessD] Issues with running applications in 64 bit version of Office

I have used a slightly modified version of the relinking code from the
Access Developers Handbook for many years. I liked using it as it didn't
depend on the Office Dialogs so could be used in runtime versions on
computers without Office installed. I dropped the code modules into a
customer's application as usual when we split their database and all was
well. Until they tried running the application on a computer with Office 10
64 bit. Code breaks on the 32 bit api calls. Not good.

Has anyone run into this and figured out how to work with both 32 bit and 64
bit versions of Access? For the short term I am going to use the Office
dialogs, but would prefer to use the Windows api.
