Could you tell me what is the proper way of setting up the access ADO driver in WINE in x64? If it is not possible now, could you tell me if any database works on wine in 64 bit prefix, so I will change the database type in the application.
Wine's ADO support is still somewhat rudimentary, and you would still require the separate Access runtime. As far as I know, the MDAC installed by winetricks is 32-bit only; I don't think Microsoft ever released a 64-bit redistributable.
Unless you can switch to using ODBC instead (which is better supported in Wine), you probably won't have much success even if you used a different database driver, without more work being done on our ADO implementation.
