    Need 64 bit Compile Check Please

    Looking for someone with Office 64 bit installed who would check the following code for compile error. Thank you.

    Option Explicit
    #If Win64 Then
    Public Declare PtrSafe Function SHGetSpecialFolderLocation _
                             Lib "shell32" (ByVal hwnd As LongPtr, _
                                            ByVal nFolder As Long, ppidl As ITEMIDLIST) As LongPtr
    Public Declare PtrSafe Function SHGetPathFromIDList _
                             Lib "shell32" Alias "SHGetPathFromIDListA" _
                                 (ByVal pidl As LongPtr, ByVal pszPath As String) As Long
    Public Declare PtrSafe Sub CoTaskMemFree Lib "ole32" (ByVal pvoid As Long)
    #Else
    Public Declare Function SHGetSpecialFolderLocation _
                             Lib "shell32" (ByVal hwnd As Long, _
                                            ByVal nFolder As Long, ppidl As Long) As Long
    Public Declare Function SHGetPathFromIDList _
                             Lib "shell32" Alias "SHGetPathFromIDListA" _
                                 (ByVal pidl As Long, ByVal pszPath As String) As Long
    Public Declare Sub CoTaskMemFree Lib "ole32" (ByVal pvoid As Long)
    #End If
    
    Private Type ****EMID
      cb As Long
      abID As Byte
    End Type
    
    Private Type ITEMIDLIST
      mkid As ****EMID
    End Type
    
    Public Const CSIDL_WINDOWS = &H24
    Public Const CSIDL_MYPICTURES = &H27
    Public Const CSIDL_PERSONAL = &H5
    Public Const MAX_PATH = 260
    Public Const NOERROR = 0
    
    Public Function SpecFolder(ByVal lngFolder As Long) As String
    Dim lngPidlFound As Long
    Dim lngFolderFound As Long
    Dim lngPidl As Long
    Dim strPath As String
    
      strPath = Space(MAX_PATH)
      lngPidlFound = SHGetSpecialFolderLocation(0, lngFolder, lngPidl)
    
      If lngPidlFound = NOERROR Then
          lngFolderFound = SHGetPathFromIDList(lngPidl, strPath)
          If lngFolderFound Then
              SpecFolder = Left$(strPath, InStr(1, strPath, vbNullChar) - 1)
          End If
      End If
    
      CoTaskMemFree lngPidl
    lbl_Exit:
      Exit Function
    End Function
    
    Sub Test()
     MsgBox SpecFolder(CSIDL_WINDOWS)
    End Sub

    Sam,

    I noticed that you edited this post. What is the purpose of ****EMID? That certainly doesn't compile :-(. Where you able to check if it compiled in Word 64 bit?

    I just added White space, ****EMID was already there.

    What should it be? If you cant edit it, I will.

    I'm strictly 32 bit, sorry.



    I sure miss the old Formatting code blocks with auto indent.
    I expect the student to do their homework and find all the errrors I leeve in.

    It was SierraHotelIndiaTango or S*H*I*TEMID the source was: http://www.jkp-ads.com/articles/apideclarations.asp

    Still hoping someone can test this code and see if it will work in Office 64 bit:

    Option Explicit
    #If VBA7 Then
    Public Declare PtrSafe Function SHGetSpecialFolderLocation _
                             Lib "shell32" (ByVal hwnd As LongPtr, _
                                            ByVal nFolder As Long, ppidl As LongPtr) As LongPtr
    Public Declare PtrSafe Function SHGetPathFromIDList _
                             Lib "shell32" Alias "SHGetPathFromIDListA" _
                                (ByVal pidl As LongPtr, ByVal pszPath As String) As LongPtr
    Public Declare PtrSafe Sub CoTaskMemFree Lib "ole32" (ByVal pvoid As LongPtr)
    #Else
    'Public Declare Function SHGetSpecialFolderLocation _
    '                         Lib "shell32" (ByVal hwnd As Long, _
    '                                        ByVal nFolder As Long, ppidl As Long) As Long
    '
    'Public Declare Function SHGetPathFromIDList _
    '                         Lib "shell32" Alias "SHGetPathFromIDListA" _
    '                             (ByVal pidl As Long, ByVal pszPath As String) As Long
    '
    'Public Declare Sub CoTaskMemFree Lib "ole32" (ByVal pvoid As Long)
    #End If
    Public Const CSIDL_WINDOWS = &H24
    Public Const CSIDL_MYPICTURES = &H27
    Public Const CSIDL_PERSONAL = &H5
    Public Const MAX_PATH = 260
    Public Const NOERROR = 0
    Sub ***Test()
      MsgBox SpecFolder(CSIDL_WINDOWS)
    End Sub
    Public Function SpecFolder(ByVal lngFolder As Long) As String
    #If Win64 Or VBA7 Then
      Dim lngPidlFound As LongPtr
      Dim lngFolderFound As LongPtr
      Dim lngPidl As LongPtr
    #Else
    '  Dim lngPidlFound As Long
    '  Dim lngFolderFound As Long
    '  Dim lngPidl As Long
    #End If
    Dim strPath As String
      strPath = Space(MAX_PATH)
      lngPidlFound = SHGetSpecialFolderLocation(0, lngFolder, lngPidl)
      If lngPidlFound = NOERROR Then
          lngFolderFound = SHGetPathFromIDList(lngPidl, strPath)
          If lngFolderFound Then
              SpecFolder = Left$(strPath, InStr(1, strPath, vbNullChar) - 1)
          End If
      End If
      CoTaskMemFree lngPidl
    lbl_Exit:
      Exit Function
    End Function

    Now you have Sub ***Test

    Sierra Hotel India Tango and Foxtrot Uncle Charley Kilo are both verboten. There may be others, but I can't think of any more "Bad" words this early.

    From a third source, this is confirmed working:

    Option Explicit
    #If VBA7 Then
    Public Declare PtrSafe Function SHGetSpecialFolderLocation _
                             Lib "shell32" (ByVal hwnd As LongPtr, _
                                            ByVal nFolder As Long, ppidl As LongPtr) As LongPtr
    Public Declare PtrSafe Function SHGetPathFromIDList _
                             Lib "shell32" Alias "SHGetPathFromIDListA" _
                                (ByVal pidl As LongPtr, ByVal pszPath As String) As LongPtr
    Public Declare PtrSafe Sub CoTaskMemFree Lib "ole32" (ByVal pvoid As LongPtr)
    #Else
    Public Declare Function SHGetSpecialFolderLocation _
                             Lib "shell32" (ByVal hwnd As Long, _
                                            ByVal nFolder As Long, ppidl As Long) As Long
    Public Declare Function SHGetPathFromIDList _
                             Lib "shell32" Alias "SHGetPathFromIDListA" _
    () '                             (ByVal pidl As Long, ByVal pszPath As String) As Long
    Public Declare Sub CoTaskMemFree Lib "ole32" (ByVal pvoid As Long)
    #End If
    Public Const CSIDL_WINDOWS = &H24
    Public Const CSIDL_MYPICTURES = &H27
    Public Const CSIDL_PERSONAL = &H5
    Public Const MAX_PATH = 260
    Public Const NOERROR = 0
    Sub Test()
      MsgBox SpecFolder(CSIDL_WINDOWS)
    End Sub
    Public Function SpecFolder(ByVal lngFolder As Long) As String
    #If Win64 Or VBA7 Then
      Dim lngPidlFound As LongPtr
      Dim lngFolderFound As LongPtr
      Dim lngPidl As LongPtr
    #Else
      Dim lngPidlFound As Long
      Dim lngFolderFound As Long
      Dim lngPidl As Long
    #End If
    Dim strPath As String
      strPath = Space(MAX_PATH)
      lngPidlFound = SHGetSpecialFolderLocation(0, lngFolder, lngPidl)
      If lngPidlFound = NOERROR Then
          lngFolderFound = SHGetPathFromIDList(lngPidl, strPath)
          If lngFolderFound Then
              SpecFolder = Left$(strPath, InStr(1, strPath, vbNullChar) - 1)
          End If
      End If
      CoTaskMemFree lngPidl
    lbl_Exit:
      Exit Function
    End Function

    I'm glad you got it checked.

    It's been confirmed that the system uses auto-censor, and complaints have been made in the Moderator's folder about it.
