Arthur, You should be having no problems running MZ Tools then. It works fine with 32 bit Office under a 64 bit OS. Make sure your using: C:\Windows\sysWOW64\regsvr32.exe To register the DLL for 32 bit.

The main reason I chose 64-bit was for SQL Server. If I had a 32-bit version of Windows 7 I'd install it, but sadly I don't. Maybe I'll buy one (I notice that Win7 is deeply discounted lately) and set up a dual boot instead. I'm beginning to think that I should just get a box for each OS I want to run. In the case of the two Linux VMs I run currently, a sufficient box for each of them is about $120 lately. Linux is just fine with a mere 2GB of RAM. Speaking of multiple boxes, what are those devices called that enable a single monitor and mouse and keyboard to work with multiple machines? You just turn a dial to switch from Box 1... Box 4. A. A.
