Re: 64-Bit iSeries Access

That's where the 64 bit version installs to. I've never tried the 32 bit 
version on a 64 bit O/S but I would expect that experience to be less 
than wonderful.  The 64 bit version works very well with current service 
packs. About a year ago (memory?) there were still issues with drag and 
drop on 64 bit OS but those are fixed now.
