Just wanted to note that there isn't much advantage to using the 64bit version of Access, and can actually limit things, as you can't install any 32bit Office apps along side it. There is a good discussion of 32bit vs 64bit here. https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Choose-between-the-64-bit-or-32-bit-version-of-Office-2dee7807-8f95-4d0c-b5fe-6c6f49b8d261?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US
It notes that only Project and Excell would really benefit from 64bit, allowing larger files. Access 64bit doesn't allow any bigger file as far as I can tell.
Certainly, if you are using 64bit Office for some other good reason, 64bit Access is a given.

I think there is no 32 bit ODBC driver for Access 2016. If you have a 64 bit web server environment, then it is a no go.
