Excel 2016 VBA ... 1.)Compiler Error: Type Mismatch? and/or 2.) Code Must be Updated For Use On 64-bit Systems?

[Costa_km]

Intro: the program below refers to a userform program that pops up with empty fields to be filled 5x left and 5x right
then u can 1. save it and it fills an excel tab (e.g.: client database-tab)
2. delete details (deletes userform - user starts filling it again)
3. print pdf details (printed details-tab)
4. close page

The program GUI is a mechanics (auto-shop company) which takes in name, address (on left side) car details, make, plate, engine, fuel type etc.

Module 1 CODE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Option Explicit


#If VBA7 Then


Private Declare PtrSafe Function GetTempPath Lib "KERNEL32" Alias "GetTempPathA" (ByVal nBufferLength As LongLong, ByVal lpBuffer As String) As LongLong


#Else


// problem #1 - I keep getting error here (i tried removing "PtrSafe" but it said ... update 64bit systems) line is all red


Private Declare PrtSafe Function GetTempPath Lib "KERNEL32" Alias "GetTempPathA" (ByVal nBufferLength As Long, ByVal lpBuffer As String) As Long


#End If




Const MAX_PATH = 260


Public strText As String
Public blnNew As Boolean
Public strFile As String




Public Function prTmpPath()


Dim sFolder As String ' Name of the folder
Dim lRet As Long ' Return Value


sFolder = String(MAX_PATH, 0)
lRet = GetTempPath(MAX_PATH, sFolder)

If lRet <> 0 Then
prTmpPath = Left(sFolder, InStr(sFolder, _
Chr(0)) - 1)
Else
prTmpPath = vbNullString
End If


End Function

// problem #2 - this declarations below only work if i leave the "PrtSafe" there BUT I already have up to convert it to 4bit so, it shouldn't be needed here right, but IF I take it away, the message about .. update 64bit systems pop up, so I left it here.

// problem #3 - if I leave everything above as it is, this variable IIDFromString alerts as mismatch which it shouldn't, because the code here is correct (before updating things to 64bit) so I dont know why? (remember in a 32bit program it works fine but, I got excel2016 so I've been updating the variable and declarations, reserved words etc (u know the drill)
