VBA 64 bits reading error

[Tofandel]

If I declare a dictionary from another module and use it in a function of another module then when trying to read a key using myDic("myKey") while in the debugger the keys are shown, the value returned is "Empty"

It works as expected on 32 bits version of excel but not on 64 bits

If I remove the dictionary module to use the default windows dictionary it works fine again

I'm also noticing this error with the dictionary only on 64 bit versions. The read seems to work ok the first time but fails on subsequent reads. This is also quite variable as to whether it fails or not - doesn't seem to be any discernible pattern. My temp fix is to read the value only once.

Hi,

On 64 bits excel when i try to read a value like that LastName = Item("subscriber")("lastName")

I received a message : Automation Error

same problem here.

quick update: the problem only occurs on accessing nested items - tested for 2 levels like Item("subscriber")("lastName")

Sometimes though it works. When it does not it works for now to assign a variable tmp to Item("subscriber") and then access from that variable tmp("lastName")

Allawys use 32 bit if you want your macros or VBA to work properly , the 64 bit is a problem , personally I stoped entertaining it anymore. I used to have problems with Ms Access 2016 , I had to switch back to 32 BIT because it even allows third party products to run side by side Managing Partner
