Following are functions relating to ActiveX objects:

Note: ActiveX objects are not supported on a 64-bit process, such as an alarm server operating in Extended Memory mode. If a call to an ActiveX function occurs from a 64-bit process, an error code will be returned, a hardware alarm will be raised and the Cicode thread will stop.
