There is an open OOo bug that is over 5 years old. http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=46594
It seems that OOo developers felt this was an unnecessary feature. However, as users have commented in that bug report, the 32-bit version doesn't work in 64-bit Terminal Servers, and Microsoft does not ship a 32-bit server product anymore. Furthermore, Base can not connect to a 64-bit ODBC data source. Given that Microsoft has been shipping 64-bit operating systems for 7 years now, and that there are legitimate use cases where OOo/LibO can't fufil user needs without a 64-bit Windows build, shouldn't this be reevaluated? And from a pure perception standpoint, it looks like OOo/LibO is behind MS Office in this regard, given that MS Office offers a 64-bit version. Thanks! -- T. J.
