Total Access Components 2010, Version 14.0

Total Access Components 2010, Version 14.0, has a number of significant enhancements from the 2007 version:

Supports both 32 and 64 bit Versions

Microsoft Access 2010 and later is available in 32 and 64 bit versions. ActiveX controls are either 32 or 64 bit and must match the MS Access version selected.

Total Access Components 2010 includes two sets of controls:

  • The 32 bit version supports Microsoft Access 2000, 2002, 2003, 2007, and the 32 bit version of Access 2010, 2013 and 2016.
  • The 64 bit version supports the 64 bit version of Access 2010, 2013 and 2016.

Compatibility Across 32 and 64 bit Versions

Both versions are compatible with each other. Use the controls from Total Access Components in your MS Access application and automatically run it in the other version without any changes. Your users simply need to have the appropriate version of Total Access Components on their machine. Separate 32 and 64 bit redistributable programs are included for to deploy them to your users.

To support both 32 and 64 bit environments, Total Access Components 2010 was upgraded from C++ version 6.0 to version 10.0.
