How to convert Access 32 Bit Database to Access 64 Bit Database
Sven Johannsen Thanks for catching that with runtime.
Actually, Microsoft is softening their stance on preference for 32 bit Office. By default now, when you install the latest versions (O365 and, I think also O2019) the 64 bit version is installed and it's a matter of sleuthing to even find the 32 bit option.
George_HepworthYea, that's why I said it the way I did. I still don't really see the benefit of 64bit for the average user. But then, the average user probably isn't using many add-ins that are only available with 32bit, so won't be harmed by installing 64bit either. Really only becomes an issue if you are creating DBs for others and are wanting to keep them from messing them up (accde ;) ). With Access coming with O365 instead of being $300 on its own per user, not as much incentive to use the runtime option.
