Re: How to Convert 32bit access to 64bit?
Most features should work without change. Here are some of the things to check:
Do you use ActiveX controls? Most or all of those won't work in the 64-bit version; you'll have to remove them and find a way to do without them.
Do you use Windows API functions? You can find them by looking for lines near the top of a code module that begin with Declare, Public Declare or Private Declare. Here is an example:
All such declarations will have to be modified. See Declaring API functions in 64 bit Office

What is the extension of your database? Is it .accdb or .accde?

Re: How to Convert 32bit access to 64bit?
That's strange. The only suggestion I have is to uninstall the 64-bit version of Office and to install the 32-bit version. The 64-bit version has many disadvantages and only very few advantages.
Best wishes,
