[excel] Excel VBA Code: Compile Error in x64 Version ('PtrSafe' attribute required)

I'm quite sure you won't get this 32Bit DLL working in Office 64Bit. The DLL needs to be updated by the author to be compatible with 64Bit versions of Office.

The code changes you have found and supplied in the question are used to convert calls to APIs that have already been rewritten for Office 64Bit. (Most Windows APIs have been updated.)

From: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee681792.aspx:

"ActiveX controls and add-in (COM) DLLs (dynamic link libraries) that were written for 32-bit Office will not work in a 64-bit process."

Edit: Further to your comment, I've tried the 64Bit DLL version on Win 8 64Bit with Office 2010 64Bit. Since you are using User Defined Functions called from the Excel worksheet you are not able to see the error thrown by Excel and just end up with the #VALUE returned.

If we create a custom procedure within VBA and try one of the DLL functions we see the exact error thrown. I tried a simple function of swe_day_of_week which just has a time as an input and I get the error Run-time error '48' File not found: swedll32.dll.

Now I have the 64Bit DLL you supplied in the correct locations so it should be found which suggests it has dependencies which cannot be located as per https://stackoverflow.com/a/8607250/1733206

I've got all the .NET frameworks installed which would be my first guess, so without further information from the author it might be difficult to find the problem.

Edit2: And after a bit more investigating it appears the 64Bit version you have supplied is actually a 32Bit version. Hence the error message on the 64Bit Office. You can check this by trying to access the '64Bit' version in Office 32Bit.
