Are you familiar with something that does the same? I would need a 64 bit solution as soon as possible...
You can use the JET on a 64-bit computer, but the application that calls it should be compiled as a 32-bits application. JET is not recognized by 64-bits applications.
You can try using the 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components. It is supposed to be the replacement to Jet. I haven't worked with it, but from the articles I have read, it has a 64-bit version.
