[AccessD] Access 32-64 bit question

[Rocky Smolin]

Cataracts - I had both eyes done earlier this year. It's a freakin'
miracle! I even got the monovision I liked so much with my contacts - NO
CHEATERS! It's worth the $600 and more. When I get up in the morning I
don't walk into doors or walls. When I look outside greens are GREEN and
blues are BLUE! Good luck, brother.
