'Getting Outlook Redemption to work on 64-bit operating systems?
Our servers are upgrading to Windows 10 64-bit (which is also using Office 64-bit products) and I noticed that in this environment, the old Outlook Redemption code I run in my MS Access VBA applications no longer work due to Access being unable to load the usual dll files (Redemption.dll, StrStorage.dll, dynapdf.dll). Is there a way to get this to work in 64-bit Office?

You will need x64 bit version of the app + dll's used. So if you using say tree-view, there not a x64 bit version. Same goes for any "add in", and that includes Redemption. You course of action is to find a x64 bit alternative, or hope that a x64 bit version of Redemption is released. Same goes for activeX calendar control, or any other add-in, or activeX control(s) you use. You have to ensure that x64 bit versions of such controls or add-ins are available before you can really adopt office x64 bit version.

Make sure the bitness of Access (where your code is running) matches the bitness of Outlook / MAPI system.
Since Redemption (unlike OOM) is an in-proc COM library, it bitness must match the bitness of your code (COM system takes care of that). But since Redemption loads the MAPI system in-proc, the bitness of the MAPI system must match the bitness of the host.
