If you really like ACCCESS and need to use it on a 64 bit system the only
other solution is to built your project strict form 32 bit in that case your
app will run on a 64 bit system in the WOW layer
and can access the 32 bit drivers if they are installed on the system . I
have done this in the past and it worked flawless
The only other solution is to use a database with a 64 bit driver SQL server
, SQL server CE , or another nice free alternative Firebird DB wich has a
free full featured DB and a SQL CE clone ( although the Firebird version was
there first ) the firebird XCOPY version however is not protectable on file
level and SQL CE is ( password protect the DB to protect contents from
uniauthorized access )
But for the rest the firebird version is also a great product with all sorts
of features
http://www.firebirdsql.org/
For the rest i have never found a good free alternative, for the security
feature i choose SQL CE as this was verry important to me at that time
