You are able to use an OUT of process COM across the 64-bit & 32-bit barrier. I showed this in my 2019 SWFox session.
I was working with a 64-bit C# and accessing a VFP 9 SP 2 COM compiled as an EXE. Fun stuff.

Not to beat this to utter death and disfigurement...
I definitely used Automation from 32-bit VFP into 64-bit Outlook. So are we saying that if I go to 64-bit VFP (the "VFP 10") that suddenly that same code would not work?

It's not helped by the fact that 64-bit Office will get installed by default now via Office 365, and you kind of have to jump through hoops to install the 32-bit version.
