ERRATA
Issue while running some of the Chapter 11 VBA procedures on the Windows 64-bit machine.
As you might have already discovered, you will need to use the Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 Provider instead
of Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 when executing the code in a mixed Windows environments. The Jet database engine is only 32-bit and does
not run natively under 64-bit versions of Windows. The ACE database engine basically provides the 64-bit version
of Jet so you can read and write .mdb files from earlier versions of Access and also work with the default .accdb file format.
When the book was written, the 32-bit was commonplace for processors and suited 99% of people,
hence the code focused on using the Jet Provider. This will be corrected in future editions.
