CryptoAPI in VBA 7
I am trying to use CryptoAPI using VBA 7 in a Windows 7, 64 bit environment. Will this ever work? I am trying to use Cryptography for Visual Basics by Richard Bondi but this is not working. I getting type mismatch on CryptImportKey function for the Pointer to the CSP handler.
What would be the best way to implement Encryption/Decryption in this environment?

Daniel,
Thanks for your reply. However, I had tried the code from the jdk site and I am using the correct PtrSafe datatypes and I am still receiving errors. The VB code will work in using VBA in a Windows 7, 64-bit environment?

Are you using he Access 2010 64-bit?
I run Access 2003/2007/2010 32-bit versions on 64-bit windows OS's without having to use PtrSafe datatypes. AFAIK, you only need to use PtrSafe datatypes in VBA with Office 2010 64-bit apps.
The link I provided work fine on XP 64-bit/Vista 64-bit/Win 7 64-bit with Access 2003/2007/2010 32-bit.

Thanks for your help. I have switched to using Visual Studio 2010 to create a .NET class that I can call from VBA.
