Answered How to convert an Access 2007 32bit .accde to Access 2010 64bit??

    Just updated from Access 2007 and tried to run our existing .accde database.  Access 2010 errors out with "The database was created with the 32-bit version of Access (duh).  Please open it with the 32-bit version of Microsoft Access".  Other than going back to 32-bit, is there any workaround or way to auto-convert to 64-bit?

    not a accde.

    See: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee681792.aspx

    Disadvantages

    The following issues might affect compatibility:

        * Microsoft Access MDE/ADE/ACCDE files   Databases that have had
    their source code removed (such as .mde, .ade, and .accde files)
    cannot be moved between 32-bit and 64-bit editions of Office 2010.
    Such databases that are created by using 32-bit Office (any version)
    can be used only with 32-bit Office, and a database that is created on
    64-bit Office can be used only on 64-bit Office.
