Extracting Excel data into Word 2013 64-bit

I've created a template for my client using Word 2013 32-bit. One of their users works with Word 2013 64-bit, he doesn't want to change and wants the template to work on his machine.

The following is part of the code which works OK in the 32-bit version:

Code:

---

    Dim db As DAO.Database
    Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
    Dim iNoOfRecords As Integer
    VarPathLocal = Options.DefaultFilePath(wdUserTemplatesPath)
        FullPath = VarPathLocal + "\" + "Acme Office Details.xls"
        ' Open the database
    cmdDefaultOffice.Enabled = False
    >>>>>>Set db = OpenDatabase(FullPath, False, False, "Excel 8")<<<<<<<
    ' Retrieve the recordset
    Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("SELECT * FROM `MyOfficeRange`")
    ' Determine the number of retrieved records
    With rs
        .MoveLast
        iNoOfRecords = .RecordCount
        .MoveFirst
    End With
    ' Set the number of Columns = number of Fields in recordset
    cboOfficeLocation.ColumnCount = 1    'rs.Fields.Count
    ' Load the ListBox with the retrieved records
    cboOfficeLocation.Column = rs.GetRows(iNoOfRecords)
    ' Cleanup
    rs.Close
    db.Close
    Set rs = Nothing
    Set db = Nothing

---

The References I have set in the VBE are:

• Visual Basic for Applications
• Microsoft Word 15.0 Object Library
• OLE Automation
• Microsoft Office 15.0 Object Library
• Microsoft Forms 2.0 Object Library
• Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library

When I run it in the 64-bit version of Word it trips up in the line indicated by >>> <<< above and gives me this error "ActiveX component can't create object"

I've Googled all over the place and tried some ideas I found but with no result so reverted to the original.

Can anyone show me, please, how I can rectify the problem? I'm sure it's very simple but I can't get the right combination.

Thanks
