Joe,
The JET Engine is deprecated. SAS needs to switch to a new engine and move
off of JET.

According to this:

JET drivers do not (and will not) exist for Windows x64.
Thus, SAS elements like the LIBNAME engine for Excel/Access will not work in
x64, apparently?

Ron,
32 bit apps should run under Vista 64. People run Office under 64 bit Vista.

Fire-Giver!
welcome back, dude!
this is a known problem with Win x64:
that it cannot handle Excel files.
The short, condensed, response from Tech Support is:
"uh,
more Unix-like
means less native Windows apps."
Q: can you run Excel under Vista 64?
