    32-bit/64-bit Access problems

    I have a database that has been created with Access 32-bit but was split on a different computer that i've now realised was Access 64-bit.



    My problem is the majority of the people in my organisation have 32-bit Acceess, but one or two have 64-bit.

    I'm not sure of the best way to resolve this problem (ideally everyone should have had the same bit Access installed on their computers by our IT contractors, but.....)

    Should I unsplit- it and re-split it on a 32-bit and get IT to install the 32-bit Access on the others that currently have 64-bit?

    Thank you for any thoughts.

    This is just a shot in the dark, but....

    Since the 64 bit will read the 32 bit dB, I would open the FE in design view, using the 64 bit access, do a "Save AS" and save it in 32 bit format.
    Then open the BE and do a "Save As", saving in 32 bit also.

    Relink the FE/BE (32 bit format).
    Give everyone a copy of the 32 bit FE, including the people that have the 64 bit Access. All should be good....

    are you actually suffering any technical issues?.... I could be wrong but I don't think splitting would cause one in the case you describe.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
