Will it be possible to open files created in Excel 2010 64 bit with Excel

As far as I know the main compatibility issues relate to non-Office OCX
controls and API calls. If you use either of these features in a 32-bit
version then you might have problems running those workbooks in 64-bit.

As far as I know, if a workbook works in 64-bit it should also work in
32-bit but I don't have a 64-bit machine myself so I am not speaking from
experience.
