VT Final Accounts
VT Final Accounts requires Microsoft Excel 97 for Windows or later.
VT Final Accounts has been tested without problem in Excel 2010. Excel 2010 is available in both 32 bit and 64 bit versions. VT Final Accounts is not compatible with the 64 bit version. However, Microsoft are recommending the 32 bit version of Excel for most users (even if they are running 64 bit versions of Windows). It will be some years before VT have completed a 64 bit rewrite of VT Final Accounts.
Choose the the File>Help command in Excel 2010 to ascertain the version you are using. In the About Microsoft Excel section, the words 32 bit or 64 bit will be shown after the version number.
VT Transaction+ and VT Cash Book
VT Transaction+ and VT Cash Book require Microsoft Windows 2000 or later. They
have been tested without problem in Windows 7. They run in both 32 bit and 64 bit versions of
Windows.
The old VT Transaction
Support will not be provided for the old VT Transaction after 30 June 2010. The
old VT Transaction is a 16 bit program originally written for Windows 3.1 in the
early 1990's. 16 bit programs do not run on 64 bit versions of Windows. VT
Transaction has not been tested in 32 bit Windows 7. It does run in 32 bit
Windows Vista, but there are some known problems.
32 bit and 64 bit explained
32 bit and 64 bit refers to the number of binary (eg 0 or 1) digits used to
store a simple number in a computer chip. Since 1995, the vast majority of PC's
have been 32 bit, although 64 bit versions of XP and Vista were available. 64
bit computers running Windows 7 are more common. Before 2010, virtually all
software was 32 bit even on 64 bit PC's. You can run 32 bit programs on 64 bit
PC's, but not vice versa.
