[AccessD] What's wrong with this?

Thanks Stuart, yes, you are 100% correct - it is the office version, and agree there is little advantage for most users in Office 64 bit - sorry for the misleading info Arthur - need another coffee it seems!
Cheers
Darryl

Actually, it doesn't matter whether you are using a 32 bit or a 64 bit OS.  The critical point is whether you are using 32 bit or 64 bit Office.

32bit Office on 64bit Windows still uses the Win32 API (through WOW64).

You only need conditional compilation if you are using Office x64.  (And there are no real advantages to Office x64 unless you need really big Excel spreadsheets.
