Re: [MSAccessProfessionals] forms not opening in Windows Home

Hi Dean,

Can you describe what you mean by "won't work"? Do you have 32-bit API calls? If so, these need a slight modification in the code. Collin has some great information at 32 to 64-bit Conversion.

I have a multi-user Access database that our group has been using for over 10 years. The company is upgrading individual computers to the 64 bit version of Access. My 32 bit Access program won't work in this environment. Does anyone know if there is a way to make a 32 bit program run in a 64 bit environment, or if there is a way to convert the DB to 64 bit?
