Hello There,

Is there a way I can use the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2016 32-bit on both 32-bit and 64-bit Versions of Microsoft Office?

Thanks,
Joshua Grossman

    The bitness of a data provider like ACE must match those of the application utilizing the provider, means in a 32 bit app you can use only 32 bit ACE, but not the 64 bit one.
