Error attempting to reverse engineer 2010 MS Access database: "Provider cannot be found...".
Description

Using Windows Vista 64 bit machine and Toad v4.1, user tries to reverse engineer 2010 MS Access db and gets following error:

"Provider cannot be found. It may not be properly installed."

Reverse Engineer from Access 2003 and using Jet provider works.
Cause

When 64-bit OS and 64-bit versions of applications are used, this happens to be different with the provider. The selection whether 32 or 64 bit is about what application needs the provider. Since TDM is 32-bit, you will need 32-bit provider.
Resolution

Download the 32 bit provider listed here:
