[AccessD] Issues with running applications in 64 bit version ofOffice

  No, not really, but yes.

  Office 64 bit can only run under a 64 bit OS.  So yes, VBA7 means you have
a 64 bit OS.  You don't need to check.

  VBA6 can run on 32 bit or 64 bit, so you need to check which OS with WIN64
if you want to know which OS your running under.  But understand that
running 32 bit Office under a 64 bit OS still let's you make 32 bit calls,
so you really don't care.

OMIGOSH  - that is a horrible convention ! It implies VBA7 = Office 2010 64
bit under Win64...
And Win64 implies Windows 64 bit with Office 32 bit.
Am I right ?

Better directive naming: VBA64WIN64, VBAWIN64
