    Unfortunately you cannot use Pointers in VBA!

    What are you trying to accomplish (or is this just a general question)

    Depending upon what you are trying to do, most, if not all, APIs are available for use in VBA

    Re: ofc excel 2007- can we have pointers in vba?

    It is a general question.. I was using arrays in my application.. so if it is able to replace by pointers it will be good enough to extend the memory space and no wastage of memory.. so..
    API's how can we use? Can you give me an example if you don't mind..

    Maybe CopyMemory and FillMemory?
