Revit DB Link with MS Access 2007

[raymondjdawson925863]

I have Revit 2013 on a 64-bit system and MS Access 2007 32-bit. I am being told that I need to use Access 2010 64-bit to connect the two. But I need to have Access 2007 32-bit on my computer to interact with a different program. Is there a work around to be able to export data to access 32-bit from a 64-bit Revit??
Thanks

not without getting your IT to support it. Try looking it up in a google search. There are steps out there to get this resolved, but it might be easier just to upgrade.

I tried and tried and tried to make exactly the same hookup. No luck. I finally gave up.

Anyone out there succeed in linking 64b Revit 2013 with 32b Access 2007?

There is no reliable way to use a 32bit library from a 64bit program, you could try this work-around: http://www.gfi.com/blog/32bit-object-64bit-environment/ Though that means you'd need to program something for Revit.

IMO the "simplest" way would be to use 2010's 64bit driver instead, note the driver is free to download (not the full MSO 2010): http://www.altova.com/Access-Database-OLEDB-32bit-64bit.html
