There must be one. So how does one access an Access 2007 database on Windows
64-bit OS? Access 2007 works in that environment so it must be using some
sort of access to the database. So how does one get into it?

As far as I know, there isn't a 64-bit provider. I believe there's was a
way to use 32-bit providers when running on 64-bit operating systems, but
I'm afraid I don't know what it is, as I haven't had to work with 64-bit OS
yet.
