MBD created in 32 bit doesn't have any options to save it under File and no DataBase tool bar
I'm working in MS Office 365 32 bit. I have a database application that has an mdb extension. I can open it and I can see the components, ( forms, queries, tables, modules) but there is no save option under File and the DataBase Tools do not show up on the tool bar. My goal is to convert this to a 64 bit database so that it can be used and opened in MS Office 64 bit.
Thanks
- You don't have to "Save" anything. Just open it in 64-bit Access, and the code will be recompiled automatically. If you really want to, you could use /decompile to remove 32-bit code, but I believe this is automatic.
Of course, if you have 32-bit specific code (e.g. API declarations), you have some work to do.- If I attempt to open it in 64-bit Access I get the error message that states this database was created in 32 bit Access please open it with the 32 bit version of Access.
- I am assuming it is not an MDB then. Maybe a compiled MDE or the newer ACCDE format.
To test: on 32-bit Access create a very simple Hello Windows ACCDB (or download a template).
Open it on 64-bit Access. That works.
