Nothing was changed in Access for 64 bit other than getting it to work in 64 bit. That BTW holds pretty much true for the entire Office line. 64 bit Office only gives you two things: 1. Very large spreadsheets in Excel 2. Very large projects in project. Outside of that, everything else is the same feature and performance wise. Because of that and that there is an overall lack of controls and drivers for 64 bit, Microsoft is still recommending 32 bit for the majority of users. Keep in mind that as far as Microsoft is concerned, the desktop is dead. It's all about the cloud and Office 365. I strongly doubt you'll see any further development of any of the desktop editions.

The 64 bit version of Office introduced some issues and bugs, with seemingly little performance gain. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Mark Simms Sent: Wednesday, 11 February 2015 2:51 PM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: [AccessD] Access 2013 Guys - I've had the privilege to work with AC2013, 64 bit mode under Win 7. Bottomline: THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT BUGS. I am constantly "compacting and repairing". Everything becomes dysfunctional after multiple query edits. Incredibly, despite a powerful processor with 32 GB ram.... I don't see a great improvement in query performance !!! Get this: After you SAVE a query, it "disappears"...i.e. it is no longer "in-focus". This is blatant, poor QA by Microsoft. I am very skeptical this new CEO is going to improve things at this company. I think they are cooked. Too many poor technical managers = disaster. Ballmer just decimated this company....and reaped outrageous rewards..... this whole situation is looking like an "American Travesty". I think I'll start writing it, "American Travesty", to be the next great screenplay second only to "American Sniper"...A riveting movie.....wow. If you haven't seen it, you are NOT a patriot. If you care not to watch it.....Please move to Singapore...or China. I really think Ballmer needs to be exposed as the lame-duck CEO he was....little contribution, HUGE REWARDS. Is that what our country has become ? If so, we are "DONE". Bring on the Chinese....and welcome to communism. -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
