[AccessD] Problems with Arrays

Yes VBA.

2-bit-and-64-bit-versions-of-office

When should I use strptr, varpt, and objptr?

You should use these functions to retrieve pointers to strings, variables and objects, 
respectively. On the 64-bit version of Office, these functions will return a 64-bit LongPtr, 
which can be passed to Declare statements. The use of these functions has not changed 
from previous versions of VBA. The only difference is that they now return a LongPtr.
