Posted August 5, 2020 Hello, I built yesterday a new PC for my parents. I copied all important data to the PC and almost everything works as expected. The only file that causes headaches is a Microsoft Office .mdb file in 32-bit which I can't open in Access 64-bit. My parents use that DB as member management tool and got it from their predecessor. I haven't really used Access and couldn't find anything 'simple' with google that works. How can I convert the mdb-File into 64-bit? I guess uninstalling Office (64-bit) and reinstalling (32-bit) would be an option, but that would affect Word, Excel and so on aswell... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 5, 2020 Install the 32bit version into a virtual machine (Virtualbox is easy) then export the database into some basic format (sql files, xml files, etc ) which you can then import into a new 64 bit database.

Thanks, will the data be kept in the database? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which you can then import when creating new database. ^^^^ That's my post ^^^^ <-- This is me --- That's your scrollbar --> vvvv Who's there? vvvv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
