I don't think I'd do this (even if I knew how!):
I think you want to use something called late-binding. Instead of relying on a
specific version, you create a "version-independent" object that doesn't use
references.
Tom Ogilvy posted this recently:
Here are some more extensive references on binding:
Use late binding - don't have a reference to excel.

However, if the problem is caused by going from a newer version of Excel to
an older version, the solution might be to do the development on the oldest
version.

Also, Dick Kusleika has a web page at:

that explains this difference when using Outlook
It's very nice to use early binding when developing. You get all the
intellisense help (when you set the reference and declare the variables
nicely). But before you distribute it to users (who may be using different
versions), it's usually a good idea to use latebinding (and change those object
variable declarations to the generic "As Object".)
