wOOdy -- Charlie had responded to your answer on my 64-bit thread. What
do you think?

Quick question. Are you all saying there is no Automation available to MS
Office products in the 64-bit world?
I recently wrote a quick VFP app to 'automate' Outlook (ref:
createobject('outlook.application')) to generate and send a bunch of
emails. The Outlook 365 was 64-bit (I think). Are you saying I would not
have been able to do that if I would have used the 'VFP 10' runtimes, etc?
I understand ActiveX/FLLs that were compiled 32-bit would be an issue - if
they did not have a 64-bit version included.

Ah yes, the automation angle. Temporarily forgot about that. Thanks,

You are correct, there is no reason to have a 64bit FoxPro application
for a regular Desktop app. It is different for building the middle-tier of
a distributed app or a Webserver extension. But on a regular desktop you
gain nothing, but inherit a lot of problems: No support for regular 32bit
ActiveX or FLL components. No COM-control of Office or other 32Bit stuff.
Thus you better use the 32Bit version of VFPA, which is really highly
recommended, since it cures a lot of old bugs.

Betreff: 64-bit app via the Chen version
I finally I downloaded the VFPA runtime files and am going to use that
IDE and develop/deploy with this "VFP 10" version since many here have
spoken of it without much negativity.
Question: what would be the benefit of using the 64-bit version IF I'M
NOT USING DBFS (because in my MBSS apps, I use MariaDB/MySQL as the
backend, not VFP). I just don't see the benefit other than for marketing
my apps to say "they're 64-bit using the VC++ 10 runtimes."
