If you use either of these features in a 32-bit version then you might have problems running those workbooks in 64-bit. As far as I know, if a workbook works in 64-bit it should also work in 32-bit but I don't have a 64-bit machine myself so I am not speaking from experience.

Thank you Bill, this confirms my assumptions. I think that also the add-ins
need to be recompiled in 64 bit Visual Studio as well. -- The sun is shining. "Bill Manville" wrote: Robert wrote: Will it be possible to open files created in Excel 2010 64 bit with Excel 2007 ?
