MS Access 2.0 was compatible with Windows 3.0 (16 bit) from 1993 or so. MS Office 95 (and Access 95) were 32 bit and written to go along with Windows 95. Since Microsoft keeps some of its knowledgebase articles around forever, it's easy to find a bit of something like this that seems applicable to your problem, but has been rendered antique by the march of progress.
