Re: Converting 32-bit to 64-bit

Show all headers | View raw

I am not able to provide a full answer although I have progressively updated databases from early versions of Access to Office 365 over a number of years.

One feature that you should be aware of is the use of 32 bit library functions.  You will need to add the keyword 'PtrSafe'  e.g.

    Private Declare PtrSafe Function RegOpenKey Lib "advapi32" Alias "RegOpenKeyA" _
        (ByVal hKey As Long, ByVal lpValueName As String, phkResult As Long) As Long

Look at the article:

Good luck
