    Hi There,

     

    Under the Advanced Downloading options, You can actually select 32 bit or 64 bit version of PowerBI. PowerBI 32 bit will support your 32 bit access database. 

     

    Regards,

    Thanks Bhavesh Patel - found the Advanced Download option eventually - shame that the Update link bottom right of Power BI Desktop doesnt take you there, or test your operating system to identify which is needed, instead it just downloads the 64 bit version :( 

     

    Thanks for the prompt reply.
