Opening a 32-bit database in the 64-bit version of MS Access

Nov 20, 2021

If you attempt to open a Microsoft Access database which is designed for the 32-bit version of the software, when you are using the 64-bit version of Acces, you may get a blank screen. If this happens, attempt this workaround.
