I am currently using the following VBA code in Excel for MAC 2016: Sub MailWorkSheet Dim SourceWb As Workbook, DestWb As Workbook, sh As Worksheet Dim strbody As String, TempFileName As String If Val(Application.Version).
Office 2011 for the Mac is always 32 bit and Office 2016 for the Mac can be 32 or 64 bit, all builds 15.26 and later are exclusively 64-bit. So every Mac Office 2016 install that is up to date is 64 bit.

With the three functions above it is easy to test what you want in your VBA projects.
