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

It is poorly explained in the stackoverflow link.   A better reference is:

<quote>VBA 7 is a new code base, replacing the earlier version of VBA. VBA 7 exists for 
both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Office 2010. It provides two conditional compilation 
constants: VBA7 and Win64. The VBA7 constant helps ensure the backward compatibility of 
your code by testing whether your application is using VBA 7 or the previous version of VBA. 
The Win64 constant is used to test whether code is running as 32-bit or as 64-bit. Both of 
these compilation constants are demonstrated later in this article.</quote>
