Outlook 2010 EXCEL (64 bit) problem
Hi there
This might be more related to IE8 rather than EXCEL but I find using EXCEL 2010 X-64 bit version with macros to dynamically create WEB QUERIES (retrieve external data from web sites), download into spread sheet and "Auto" update doesn't work properly.
This means some things like Stock exchange graphs on moving stocks or Horse racing statistics etc etc don't work properly.
I like trading options and need this type of functionality -- I'm NOT a professional "Day Trader" so I use my own data.
Since the web data is retrieved via some IE8 functionality I suspect it's probably becuase of the incompatability of EXCEL 2010 X-64 with IE8 (32 bit version).
No probs with Office / EXCEL 2010 32 bit version even on W7 X-64 ---I can test all these options with Virtual Machines -- you get a bit of grace before you have to "Activate" office 2010 although you have to enter the key when installing. Delaying activation allows testing both versions until extra keys are available on technet.
I NEED the Web query function to work ("Get EXTERNAL DATA") -- that is a HUGE showstopper.
I'm quite happy howeve to continue to use Office 2010 32 Bit -- the size of spreadsheets etc I use don't need the 64 bit version - but it would be nice to have 64 bit applications installed on W7 X-64.
Cheers
