Hi,
This code allows me to use the scroll wheel on my userforms.
I've been using this bit of code successfully but now i have a 64 bit system and its throwing up the following error:

Compile error:
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.

I'm not entirely literate in vba. I assume i need to change "user32" to "user64"?
I know i also need to put in "ptrsafe" in some locations but i'm not sure where. From research i also saw that some declarations need to be changed "Long" to "LongPtr"... its a minefield and i've no idea how to change it so it keeps working on 32 and 64 bit system.

I hope that someone can help!

Excel Facts

Enter current date or time
Ctrl+: enters current time. Ctrl+; enters current date. Use Ctrl+: Ctrl+; Enter for current date & time.
you need to declare your API functions as PtrSafe
go through your code and pick out all the API . and edit as per example

VBA Code:
Private Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" ....
Private Declare PtrSafe Function FindWindow Lib "user32" ....

thats it!

Hi Diddy,

Thank you so much for your help!
i'll try this out on the 64bit system and get back to you, works fine on the 32bit.

I really appreciate your help,

Mike
