Default uint32 in Access 2007

Good evening, Ladies and Gents,

I need to store an uint32 in an Access 2007 column (range 0 to
4Gig-1). It appears, that A2007 does not provide uint 32 bit, nor int
64 bit. But maybe I am wrong and can't see it?

I hesitate to use floating point values, due to the time needed for
conversions between IEEE and ints, and frankly I am also fearing
possible rounding issues (the div 0 bug is still remembered).

Decimals seem to have their issues as well. At least when googling, I
find a lot of them.

So, what do you recommend instead? FieldHi for the MSB 16 bit and
FieldLo for the 16 LSB? Something else?

Thanks for your input.

Best regards,
