64 bit access database driver

[thomasb]

Microsoft has come out with the 64 bit access db driver.  Has anyone had any success making a connection in Map 3D 2011.  I've tried but with no success.  Murph can you help?

When I had a 64x machince I had the beta drivers but due to work load and having to reinstall the MS Office 2007 suite to use them I didn't try it out.

I took the connect string that was posted and edited my udl using notepad to reflect that string and got the database to connect
