    Expanding on Tom's answer, ACCDE files will only run in the Office bitness in which they were created.

    However ACCDB files will run in both bitnesses

    The bitness of the device (meaning: Windows) does not matter, but the Access file follows the bitness of Office, so this 32-bit file cannot run on 64-bit Office.
    You can either uninstall 64-bit Office and install 32-bit Office, or go back to the creator of this file and ask if there is a 64-bit version available.
