I have changed the code in the 64-bit Version as shown in your image.
There is still a compilation error. This time It says „Sub or Function not defined“, again highlighting the expression "URLDownloadToFileA" as shown:
Private Function SaveWebFile(URL As String, LocalFilename As String) As Boolean
Dim lngRetVal As Long
lngRetVal = URLDownloadToFileA(0, URL, LocalFilename, 0, 0)
If lngRetVal = 0 Then SaveWebFile = True
End Function
BTW, how can I insert an image between the text lines? Copy and paste didn't work. And the import image function requires a URL.
If you don't mind trying, add an "A" to Private Declare PtrSafe Function URLDownloadToFile so it reads Private Declare PtrSafe Function URLDownloadToFileA … that last error might be a simple fix.
For the images, when you go to respond, click on the attach file:
Browse for the image to upload. Once you click Upload and it is complete you can select Embed … wherever your cursor is in the message it will insert the image:
You can move the html line "[IMG]https://nexusfi.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=*****[/IMG]" to wherever you'd like the image to appear in your response.
No, I certainly don’t mind. I am very grateful to you and also @ron99 for your outstanding work here and your willingness to help with the 64-bit problem. I wished I could give back more but I am no programmer (not even close). Thank you also for your info about importing images.
I added an „A“ to URLDownloadToFile. The code in my Excel now looks as shown below:
Now there is again the old type mismatch compilation error (My Excel is the German version. The error message translates to „type mismatch“)
Let's try this … about half-way through the Download module, find the function SaveWebFile and move it up just under the Option Explicit section and make the following changes:
No more compilation errors with those changes! However, no risk files can be downloaded. After starting the download the normal message „Saving … risk files“ changes to „Unable to download risk files from server“ after a few seconds.
I already checked my parameter settings and tried various dates. No download possible. The risk files can be downloaded on my wife’s system, on which a 32-bit version of Excel is installed, so there is no problem at CME.
One last thing I can think of … let's drop the check of the 64-bit version on your machine. This is exactly how it is shown on Excel Forum ( URLDownloadToFile (API + 64 bit version) [SOLVED]) and then you would need to make a small change to the function SaveWebFile (drop A so it reads URLDownloadToFile).
Thanks, Dudetooth, but I cannot find any info on how to drop the 64-bit check in your link. The moderator posted the code for the 64-bit conversion of the URLDownloadToFile Function, that was already included in your last changes. Have I overlooked something?
That link was just to the forum where someone had posted the solution to getting URLDownloadToFile working on a 64-bit version of Excel so you could see how they posted the solution.
The screenshot I included was showing proposed change to the code at the top of the Download module … if you change the code from looking like the pic in post #595 to the pic in post #597 you will remove the 64-bit check.
I changed the code accordingly but now there is a new compilation error because the variable "lngRetVal" is not defined.
How and where can it be defined? I think it should be working after that definition.
