Quick Note: 64-bit versus 32-bit Microsoft Excel 2010

The SaveDBF Excel add-in is a 32-bit add-in that will not run on a 64-bit version of Office under Windows 7.

There is no real advantage of installing the 64-bit version unless you are manipulating 2-GB+ files.

How can you tell if your version of Office 2010 will work with the add-in?

• If you have an XLSTART directory under C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\ then you have the 32-bit version installed.
• If you have an XLSTART directory under C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\ then you have the 64-bit version installed.

The merits of each system are described at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee681792.aspx

I will be rolling out a 64-bit edition of the add-in likely by the end of the year.
