Hi all,
Access Drivers - 32 bit and 64 bit
Can they coexist on the same 64 bit computer?
I have a ton of databases made in 32 bit, some pretty old. Now we have 2 new computers running a special CNC program that needs to be on a 64 bit. Not a problem except something in the program produces an ODBC error (which is odd as it doesn't even use access to my knowledge) when trying to mate 2 pieces of an object in the 3D design program. Not a problem I thought, I did have Office 32 bit on the computer so I stuck Office 64 bit on it and it solved the mating problem. BUT now none of my old access programs want to work on the 64 bit computer without updating a bunch of stuff in them. While updating them is possible with a good bit of time, it seems like alot of work for just two users.
So, my question is: can I have 32 bit Office on the computer and also stick the 64 bit drivers on it and hope the design program uses the correct one?
I know someone has had to run into the same sort of problem before.
