32 bit or 64 bit

[gsrajan]

I installed access in 64 bit windows computer and when I open the database I get the error message as it is 32 bit. Please let me know how to fix this. Thank you.

Sorry that doesn't make sense.
Did you install 64-bit Office including Access? If so, you will need to do one of the following
1. Convert all API declarations to 64-bit
2. Uninstall 64-bit Office and reinstall the 32-bit version.
I suggest you do option 2 if possible

I agree. Better to do option 2 than option 1, if you can. Cheers!

If you only have one or two API declarations it's very easy to get things working again.

Keep in mind that if you deploy .accde files, your users will need 64-bit Access to run them.

Thank you everyone. Only Accde file is not working. I will go with the option 2 when I go to office. Thanks for your help.

Yes, if you need to deploy ACCDE files, then that's definitely a problem. Good luck!

Ok, thank you. I will be back here when I work on that!

If your users have the same 64-bit Access, just change your

Public/Private Declare

to

Public/Private Declare PtrSafe

Recompile and Save As .accde

Ok, thank you. I will try this.
