[AccessD] Access 2021 accde (64 bit) incompatible with Access 2013 64 bit

[Ryan W]

Really? Considering the code base and feature set has mostly remained unchanged in both my file and Access in general that is frustrating as heck. 

Do you have any official documentation to back this up? I tried to find anything saying so before I emailed the group. 
I know there was a big change between mde and accde and then ADP projects going bye bye.
