Declare PtrSafe Compatibility in Excel

Question

I am using this statement in VBA

Private Declare PtrSafe Function GetTimeZoneInformationAny Lib \"kernel32\" Alias _
  \"GetTimeZoneInformation\" (buffer As          


        

Answer 1

ok I have re-written this like:

#If VBA7 Then
Private Declare PtrSafe Function GetTimeZoneInformationAny Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetTimeZoneInformation" (buffer As Any) As Long
#Else
Private Declare Function GetTimeZoneInformationAny Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetTimeZoneInformation" (buffer As Any) As Long
#End If

This gave a compile error on the second line in Excel 2010 64-bit and the line remained colored red but when I compile again the error doesn't show up anymore. Is this how Excel behaves?
