[AccessD] 64 bit app

[James Button]

AFAIK, and I'd expect there'll be lots of contradictions/corrections if I'm
wrong. 

The 64 bit version of Office uses different library files 
So - the quickest way - get him to compile any code needed on his system and
report to you any libraries missing 
Those should only be any that you have specifically detailed in your code.
If you have not specified any libraries then compiling (or just telling Excel
etc.) to run the macros should sort out the 64 vs 32 bit version.
HOWEVER - If you have used forms then you may need to have them recreated under
that 64 bit version - again design mode and just 'touching' the forms within the
code should get them regenerated.


Major point would be to ask them why they are using the 64 bit version of
Office, when even Microsoft says you should stick with the 32 bit version unless
you need the larger file handling (and code processed tables etc.) capabilities
of the 64 bit version 

HOWEVER - remember that 2003 is defunct, not getting fixes and considered unsafe
- so you should have moved to a supported version - 2010 or later - YES a
be-ribboned version!

Dear List:
 
I develop in A2003 still - 32 bit.  A user needs the app (mde) to run in the
64 bit version of Office.  What's the quickest/easiest way to give him what
he wants?
