How to convert Access 32 Bit Database to Access 64 Bit Database
How to convert 32 Database created with Access 2007 32 bit to Access 2016 64 bit? Manoj Kumar
mustafiz salam sajib Can you build a database that works for both 32 and 64 bits?
Depends. If you are going to just run the . mdb/accdb, yes, doesn’t matter. If you are planning to compile into an executable, no. The compiled version will look for compatible Office Libraries and they need to match. Same thing for additional Office programs. If you installed 32 bit Office, you can’t install 64 bit Visio. If you have the DB on a shared drive, you can open it in either 32or 64 bit Access. This is a pretty old thread though, so the prevalence of 32 and 64 bit Office installations may be different now.
