It is said that VB6 C2 compiler and VC have a lot of overlap
Is it possible to modify vbaexe6. Lib to get 64 bit?

64 bit compilation is generally overrated. Unless you're dealing with arrays over 2 GB consistently in your application or trying to use 64 bit DLLS, you really don't benefit from 64 bit compilation. The Windows WoW64 subsystem does a great job of executing 32 bit applications on 64 bit versions of Windows quite decently.

Is there is specific reason you'd like to have 64 bit compilation?

C++ programmers will dismiss you as a cretinous simpleton for your inability to keep track of pointers chained 6 levels deep and Java programmers will pillory you for buying into the evils of Microsoft. Meanwhile C# programmers will get paid just a little bit more than you for writing exactly the same code and VB6 programmers will continue to whitter on about "footprints". - FunkyDexter

The threads I start are Niya and Olaf free zones. No arguing about the benefits of VB6 over .NET here please. Happiness must reign. - yereverluvinuncleber
