Databases in 64-bit Version of the EPLAN Platform

Since the EPLAN platform is available as a 64-bit version, please observe the following points:

If you want to use Access databases for the parts management, the project management and the dictionary, the Microsoft operating system has to be installed in the 64-bit version. Any Microsoft Office applications that are possibly installed must also be installed consistently in the 64-bit version.

If you have installed the Microsoft Office applications in the 32-bit version, you have to use SQL Server databases for the parts management, the project management and the dictionary. In this case a changeover of the part selection to the project-specific setting (in the Settings: Part selection (project) dialog) is not possible.
If Access databases are set for the corresponding databases, a corresponding error message is issued when EPLAN is started. In this case specify the use of an SQL Server in the settings dialogs for the parts management, the project management and the dictionary.

Note:

The Microsoft Access Runtime component is furthermore required in order to use Access databases in the EPLAN platform.

If you have not installed Microsoft Office or if you use Microsoft Office without Microsoft Access, you must download the Microsoft Access Runtime component as a separate download from the Microsoft Internet site.

If you use Microsoft Office with Microsoft Access, this component is installed as well depending on the respective Microsoft Office installation:
