32 to 64bit Dumb Question

32 to 64bit Dumb Question

(OP)
Hi all,

I've a dumb question to ask, so please don't laugh. :)


In a couple of weeks my work PC is being upgraded to a 64 Bit i7 processor with 12GB of RAM, and a new installation of SW64 2010, and I was wondering if all my 32bit SW's 2010 files will work with the new 64bit SW.

Thanks

You many have issues with VBA macros that use forms.  The form will pop up behind the SW window.  You will have to use Alt-Tab to activate it.

I wish someone would upgraded my work computer to a 64 Bit i7 processor with 12GB of RAM.

Have fun with your new hardware!
