You'll have to manually create the file as 64BIT because the GUI does not allow you to specify 32BIT or 64BIT, it's 32BIT by default. Search the forum, there's a lot of history on this.

Provided that the hashed file is undamaged, you can RESIZE it to use 64-bit pointers without needing to re-create (and therefore re-populate) it.

It's best practice to have a USING clause with a RESIZE when the file is large, so that you can make use of two separate disks.
