    32 bit vba excel product bought wont run on excel in 64 bit computer

    Bought a copyrighted VBA product so the code is not exposed for edits.

    Runs fine on windows 7 32 bit.

    VBA code generates errors when I try to run on 64 bit.

    Is there some kind of 32 bit emulator I can run on the system to make it think its a 32 bit machine to be able to run the VBA?

    Re: 32 bit vba excel product bought wont run on excel in 64 bit computer

    There are specific coding inclusions for 64bit systems. Those inclusion, notably the PtrSafe parameter exist because the OS structures of the 32bit vs 64bit systems are possibly dangerous if ignored. It is up to the original coder to test their work in a 64bit environment and to specifically note PtrSafe on the declarations as needed.

    So your best bet is to work with the author of the code to provide you with a version that will work/run on your system without you hacking your own system.
