[AccessD] MS 365 (64 bit) and access apps

[John Bartow]

That's the chatter I've noticed and filed away in that section of my brain that raises little flags when someone says it can't be done.

This would be referring the company to you for your expertise in getting them past the issues in dealing with 64bit Office.

Hmmm, didn't even think of that aspect of it. What a world. Valid point though as I've been working on getting all of my gov. MS tenants migrated to MS's government cloud comm. Fun stuff, prices and capabilities are slightly different. One consistency is that 64 bit is the default for all MS tenant types. I'll check into that concern.

My guess would be that it uses 32 bit DLLs (probably just the Win32 API)  and has not been updated with PTRSAFE and LONGPTR Declarations and Types.

A quick look at the VBA would soon tell. It's likely to be not much work at all if that is the issue. I've done it countless times.

If they are OK with you "sub-contracting  a  foreign consultant" I'd be happy to take a quick look at the accdb files for you.
