Hi Deanna,
I finally got around to installing MSO2010 and here's what I found in 
VBA7 online help...


LongPtr Data Type

LongPtr (Long integer on 32-bit systems, LongLong integer on 64-bit 
systems) variables are stored as signed 32-bit (4-byte) numbers ranging 
in value from -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647 on 32-bit systems; and 
signed 64-bit (8-byte) numbers ranging in value from 
-9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 on 64-bit 
systems.


  Note
LongPtr is not a true data type because it transforms to a Long in 
32-bit environments, or a LongLong in 64-bit environments. Using 
LongPtr enables writing portable code that can run in both 32-bit and 
64-bit environments. Use LongPtr for pointers and handles.
