Did 64-bit Common Control support go in?  I thought I saw it sneek in, in Version 1707 (Build 8326.2087) but have not seen word in the ProPlus CTR release notes that it ever made it into the 1708 roll-up release to the Semi Annual (Targeted).  Please do advise.  Thanks!

We're seeing more push for 64-bit Excel.

Is there an update on the progress being made to get 64-bit COM support into 64-bit Office ProPlus?

        Thanks Steve. I was looking for that but somehow completely missed it. Released with little fanfare then? ;-)
