"In a nutshell, we are trying to use Linked Server to combine data from the SQL server and an Access file (no password on the Access file) but can't get the Linked Server to work. We tried to create the Linked using both Server Management Studio and T-SQL with the same result.
 
At the creation stage (sp_addlinkedserver) no errors are returned. However, all statements trying to use the linked server return some kind of error. The procedure sp_testlinkedserver is generating the error code 7303 but we are unable to resolve the issue."

Anthony: actually, since Office 2010 there is one, see Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable

But you might indeed be on to something!  For a 64-bit SQL they'd indeed need to install the 64-bit driver and not 32-bit.
