32 bit clients apps on 64 bit SQL Server

I need some confirmation. Is there any document from Microsoft that states n
o
changes need to be made to 32Bit Windows based Client/Server apps to access
data on a 64Bit SQL Server?
We code with VB6 an use MDAC to access our SQL Server DB, if a client wants
to move his SQL Server to a 64Bit machine and purchase a 64Bit SQL version,
we need to confirm that our will still work on his platform.
I am sure it will seeing as the DB engine is a seperate entity from our
application, but I just need an official document or link to a MS webpage
that states this.
Thanks.Hi

and especially
