Please confirm: Is your Access 2016 installation 32 bit or 64 bit?

If it's 64 bit, you will need to recreate the mde (or accde) using 64 bit Access to be able to use the resulting accde or mde with 64 bit Access.

Or

Remove 64 bit office, and install 32 bit office.

Part of this is caused because MS used to install 32bit by default, and now installs 64 bit.
As I just found out, it's very difficult to remove 64 bit in order to install 32 bit.

It just said "cant install 32bit". It didn't offer to uninstall 64bit. It turned out one-note needed removing.
I also found I had german, french, italian, dutch and spanish versions pre-installed as well.

And I only seemed to be able to find the 32-bit installer within my MS account.
