determine whether you have 32-bit or 64-bit Excel

Beginner

Overview

The Jet Reports installation program will generally be able to determine whether you have a 32-bit or 64-bit installation of Microsoft Office. This "bit-level" for the Jet Excel add-in must match the bit-level of Microsoft Excel.

If you are using the Jet Reports MSI installer for an older version of Jet, you will need to know the bit-level of your installation.

This article discusses how to find what edition of Microsoft Excel you are using.
