Any ideas?

    Hi rdbinger,

     

    Could you try installing both versions( (32-bit or 64-bit) ) of the Access Database Engine to see if it works? :smileyhappy:

     

    To install both bit-versions of the Access Database Engine, download both versions, then run each of them using the /passive switch. For example:

    c:\users\joe\downloads\AccessDatabaseEngine.exe /passive

    c:\users\joe\downloads\AccessDatabaseEngine_x64.exe /passive

     

    Regards

      Thank you so much for the assistance and idea.  However, I can not instal both versions I get an error that I cannot install the 64 bit version because I currently have the 32 bit office product installed.

       

      Still searching for more ideas
