How to convert Access 32 Bit Database to Access 64 Bit Database
Hello, i like to get some online assistance converting an existing database. Do you offer this service ?
I should have included a few more details in my previous response.
Many developers and consultants would be competent to help you convert an existing accdb to work under both 32 bit and 64 bit Access. The skills and knowledge are commonly available. You can do it yourself, assuming you have some VBA experience. However, if you are an end user and have no idea how to work in VBA, hiring someone to do it does make sense. I have seen offers to do that in some forums. Most of the time I think the volunteer offering has the necessary skills and knowledge, but the fact of the matter is that everyone here is an independent developer who volunteers time to the forum community. They may be well-seasoned, or they may have no more experience than you do yourself.
That means it's up to you to choose wisely whether to accept such an offer or not.
If you decide to have someone help you, the very first step would be to establish the scope of the project. Make sure you understand what will and won't be forthcoming.
You'll need to have a non-disclosure agreement. If you turn your accdb over to someone for the purpose of converting the VBA to support 64 bit Access, you have to be sure that any data exposed will be completely confidential.
Good luck with the project.
