Might be better to do:
Major:=5, Minor:=0
Otherwise you might be caught out by lower versions.

Or maybe even:
Major:=0, Minor:=0

Is there a way to insure that the Visual Basic for Applications
Extensibility
Library is available when Excel is started.

I'm using Excel 2003 on windows XP Pro with all current updates.

I have sheets that different users use & sometimes it's available &
sometimes not.

Thanks
