db tools insert data - subvi not executable in 64 bit?

[ermo]

Hello all. I am converting some old applications from LV8.5 (32 bit) to LV2014 (64bit), and now facing trouble with one VI from the database toolkit, the DB TOOLS INSERT DATA.VI. It says this on the error list: "Sub-Vi is not executable". So any1 knows whether this VI is not prepared to run in 64 bit? How can I make it work?

Is there anywhere a 64 bit SQL database toolkit?  

Thanks in advance.

Database Toolkit is not supported in Windows 7 64-bit using 64-bit software.

LabVIEW 2014 (64-bit) counts as 64-bit software.

Thank u very much for yr quick reply, nyc.

Do you or anybody have an idea if that toolkit will soon be modified to make it compatible with 64 bit?

I assume many people have already contacted NI to ask it. Is it worth retrying? What's the best "channel" to reach NI with such a request?

Cheers,

Contact your local sales office, they are more than willing to help you.

Also, why do you need to use LabVIEW 64-bit version?

NOTE: THIS CONTAINS FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS!  NI is aware that many customers wish to write true 64 bit apps.  The process to migrate NI Supplied ToolKits is underway (Release expected when and if the quality standards are / canbe met) 

The real problem is why you need a 64bit database when LabVIEW 8.5 is currently sufficient?  (Although, I assume the upgrade has other modernization objectives)  A 32 bit app runs just fine on a 64 bit OS  It will also run on 32 bit hardware!  

MY current take: Develop in 32bit ONLY until my customers NEED only 64 bit support.  I anticipate a changeover early next decade (By then a 1Kbit OS and Hardware will be the new standard and the customers will still be out of date)

Thank you all for the suggestions. I'll follow the 32-bit route then (no other choice atm, right)? 

The reason I am migrating to 64 bit is that some of the applications are used in production test machines, which are currently line bottlenecks, so the decision was to convert to the potentially fastest and robust hardware Windows platforms available, so we went for Windows7 64-bit and Labview 2014 64-bit. The programs are already very code optimized so I don't see how to make they run faster unless using faster hardware. Any hundreds of miliseconds saved in the code execution mean net output gains...
