Compile error
I'm getting the following error after upgrading to a new computer:
"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 PtrSafe attribute."
This is the code that is failing:
Private Declare Function apiGetUserName Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias _
"GetUserNameA" (ByVal lpBuffer As String, nSize As Long) As Long
How do I fix this?
