I apologize for the following points being wrong.

> That kind of PC features the ARM64 version of Microsft Office (Microsoft Access), thus native x64 DLLs cannot be loaded inside the ARM64 app.

> Case of use by ARM64 apps: Microsoft Access runs on the ARM64 platform will load psqlODBC and it will work.

I have verified that Microsoft Office desktop apps `MSACCESS.EXE`, `EXCEL.EXE`, and `WINWORD.EXE` run on `x64`.

I can check this by using Windows Task manager.

`MSACCESS.EXE` Architecture is `x64`

`EXCEL.EXE` Architecture is `Arm64 (x64 compatible)`.

`WINWORD.EXE` Architecture is `Arm64 (x64 compatible)`.

What is `Arm64 (x64 compatible)`? (this is confusing point)

Visual Studio, Attach to Process shows the type of all of `EXCEL.EXE` `MSACCESS.EXE` `POWERPNT.EXE` `WINWORD.EXE` is `x64`.
