Hi Rocky: Off the top Rocky, it sounds like he has installed the barebones Windows7 version, on to a 64 bit piece of hardware. The low end Windows 64bit products do not have backward capability for 32bit software when they are running in 64bit mode. He should upgrade to Premium minimum or/and then there is a Microsoft patch at: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx Note: Your version of Access may also be incompatible with the latest versions of Office. Good luck Jim -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of rockysmolin at bchacc.com Sent: Saturday, June 09, 2012 4:42 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: [AccessD] New Computer Gives Error Dear List: I am out of town until the 17th so figuring out what's wrong with an app that has been running fine and now doesn't is awkward. The user got a new computer with (I think) W7 and new Office (but he doesn't know which version) and sent me the screen shot he gets when he tries to open the app. The error reads:"The expression you entered as the event property setting produced the following error code: the code in this project must be updated for use on 64-bit systems. Please review and update Declare statements and then mark them with the PtrSafe attribute." Is he running the 64-bit Office and needs to load 32-bit version instead?
