#TIMER API VBA 64 BIT#
The main difference when declaring APIs is between 32 bit and 64 bit Office versions which introduced new parameter types (see Remarks section for more details) For example Win32 = TRUE in 32-bit Office, even if the OS is a 64-bit version of Windows. These constants refer to the Office version, not the Windows version. Note that Vba7 was introduced alongside Office 2010 to support 64 bit versions of Office. Which ones exist will depend on the bitness of the office version you're running VBA in.
Some compilation constants are already pre-defined. Win64 and Win32 are predefined constants used for conditional compilation
