32/64 but compatability

[EmanuelItz]

Hello. I have a access system that I use to run my business. It was written in access 2007 32 bit and is working well. We have 5 users that have local front ends on their stations with a shares back end on a server.

My question is can I start buying new stations with access 2010 64 bit? Are there any issues running access 32 bit and 64 bit together?



Thanks for the help!

Depends! You can run 32 bit on 64 bit. Besides that it is generally the modules and references that can give you problems.

Personally, I can't recommend 64 bit myself because of the issues that come with it.

Agree with this, sometimes the api modules will have to be told that its okay to run on 64bit...
