[AccessD] 32 vs 64

[Jim Dettman]

 Not so much well tested, as nothing was available for it.

 DLL's, drivers, OCX's etc all need to be 64 bit and not much has been
available.   It wasn't even until recently that Microsoft has started to
push 64bit more, but at least most ODBC drivers are available in 64 bit now.
Considering that were ten years down the road, it's long overdue.  

 Office 2019 BTW will still be in both 32 and 64 bit (and it has been
released).    However it will only be installable on Windows 10, and only
with CTR (Click to Run).   No more MSI packages.

 I think too that Office 2019 will most likely be the last perpetual license
release.  That's based on the fact that they shortened the support cycle to
seven years and made it coincide with the end of support for Office 2016.

Jim.

When i was running into memory limitations with Access 2013 32bit I looked
into moving to 64-bit, but most if not every recommendation I came across
said "just don't do it, it's not well tested". I have zero idea of that's
anecdotal or what.. but I stuck with the 32-bit version and with John
Colby's help wrote some JIT forms to keep my recordsets inactive until tabs
went into focus and so on and so forth using some of his class wizardry.
