AW: Office automation using VFP 10 64-bit version
Yepp. No OLE-Automation from VFP x64 to any 32Bit product. And no admin would
install the Office x64 version, since it even states in the setup, that you
should use that x64 only if you have really, really, really big XLSX files etc.
Bigger than 2 Gb. And it also states that Com/OLE problems.
