Instead of reinstalling the 32bit version, all you needed to have done was go to the websites application pool in IIS and click on 'Advanced Settings' and then change 'Enable 32-Bit Applications' to 'True'. That is it you don't need to do anything else and your Access database will then run in Windows 2008 64 bit using the 32bit JET driver. Quite simple when you know how

Humm but still, i then wonder, even if i do this, why is there no drivers under odbs drivers TAB..
Administrativ tools / ODBC then look in drivers.. only 1 there thats MS SQL driver.
all others are gone. non for 64 or 32 bit.... (on server 2008 64bit version)
thats the hole problem... so i still wondering how in hell you run yours :(

The Data Souces (ODBC) available under Admin Tools will only show the 64 bit drivers.
To view the installed 32bit ODBC drivers you need to go to the directory:-
C:\Windows\SysWOW64
then run the file odbcad32.exe
It will then list all the 32 bit drivers including the 32 bit JET driver included with Windows 2008 x64.

No problem.
Have been using Win2k8 x64 for nearly two years now, so picked up quite a bit about it. I certainly prefer it though over 2k3, and the new Win2k8 R2 improves things even further.
Have a few Windows 2008 x64 boxes running Hyper-v which have not been rebooted in over a year, so it is certainly very stable as well.

a year, thats insane *haha* im looking forvard to that..
its running real good now :)
the only issue is on my MS SQL sites i had to enabel 32bit mode as Jmail only comes in 32Bit.
so those sites run all things in 32bit mode grrrrrrrrr
my other componets are both 32 and 64 bit versions.. like aspupload and aspjpg
looking forward to Jamil making a 64bit version.. IF thy do..
What do you do for mail komponent to keep your boxes running only 64bit ??

We run all application pools in 32 bit mode. Microsoft recommend that you run website application pools in 32 bit mode on Win2k8 x64, not only is it better for compatibility with 32 bit components and drivers, they also use much less memory, and Microsoft also say you get better performance. Here is the information from Miocrosoft's Hosting Deployment Guide white paper, which I think I got from a Microsoft training day for IIS 7:-
