This should not be a problem as long as your program is not natively compiled as a x64 application,

see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Jet_Database_Engine
Sectioni Future,

Only native 64bit Code like SQL Server x64 cannot connect via oledb.
x86 applications are able to connect, thanks to WOW64
