Hi,

I have some questions for those who found themselves in this situation:
We've been working on Office 32bit for a few years, and we used form controlls like Treeview, Listview and other more advanced controlls, just to find out that they are not available on Office 64, and now IT is kind of making us switch to Office 64.
I would have 2 questions:
1. Is Excel 64 bit really faster than 32 bit if we are talking about an excel file with a pretty high complexity level, at aroun 10-15mb?
2. Where can I find a complete list of form controlls and other controlls that are not compatible with Office 64?

I honestly would try as much as possible to avoid going to Office 64bit, because that would mean spending a few months to downgrade everything to be compatible with Office 64, and also dumbing down current tools, because all alternatives are more complicated to use and less user friendly (e.g. listview vs listbox).
 

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
A gentle reminder:
