Like many others on this list, I have come to value MzTools as absolutely indispensable. However, I have recently discovered that it will not run in a 64-bit environment (unless I install Office 32-bit, which I am reluctant to do). The author of MzTools has declared his intention never to do a 64-bit version. Bummer! So now I'm reduced to copying the headers and error handlers from old procedures to new ones, or alternatively, Saving the App in 32-bit version, running MzTools there, and copying the generated code and documentation back to the 64-bit version. Either way, it sucks. Unlike some developers here, I have committed to the 64-bit version, and believe that the days of 32-bit are numbered. So I may ultimately be forced to reverse-engineer MzTools, revise some portions I'm less than happy with, and release something called ArtfulToolsVBA64. Well, now that I'm semi-retired, with just one remaining client (who is undyingly faithful), perhaps I've got the time available to embark on this project. So, a word of caution: either don't commit to the new format or install a 32-bit version of Office so this problem won't arise. Sadly, Arthur
