Compile Error: The Code in this Project must be Updated

PROBLEM

  • When trying to send a letter, you get the following error:
    Compile error:
    The code in this project must be updated for use on 64-bit systems.
    Please review and update Declare statements and then mark them with the PtrSafe attribute.

CAUSE

This error is caused by having Microsoft Office 64-bit installed on your machine. Gorilla does not support the use of Microsoft Office 64-bit. This is because Microsoft Office 64-bit does not support 32-bit COM addins. In fact, Microsoft itself recommends the use of the 32-bit version of Office.

SOLUTION

Check which version of Word you have to verify that it is indeed the 64-bit version installed:

Microsoft Office 2013

  1. Open a blank Word document.
  2. Click on File>Account
  3. Click on About Word

Once you have verified that you do have the 64-bit version of Word, you will need contact your IT department and request that they remove the 64 bit version of Office and then install the 32 bit version.
