[AccessD] Access 32-64 bit question

[Borge Hansen]

Arthur,
How much memory have you got on your machine? If 8Gb or more why not
install VMware and run either the 32 or 64 bit version on a virtual
machine. Then do the conversion on your usual 32bit Office setup and test
the 64Bit version of Office on your 2nd system.
