The thing is that we use XML Maps on excel to generate some reports.

Excel Basic (sp1 and/or 2) doesnt seem to have this option.

I get an error message when i try to do this:

ListObject oList = oSheet.ListObjects[ 1 ];

oList.XmlMap.ImportXml( xml, true );

The error message is (!exactly byt close) : "This feature is only
available on Office 2003 Professional".

Additionally, if I open my Excel template with Excel Basic(we have
templates with lists mapped to XML DataSources) i cannot find the XML
SubMenu on "Data" menu , it simply does not exist.

So basically, it seems that to work with XML I need Office 2003 Pro :)

Thanks a lot for all the tips!!!

Hi!

Im having some trouble trying to get Excel full version. Im working
with Excel 2003 and I need to know if its professional or "Basic" and
if it has any Service Packs.

My code is written in C#, I can get the "global" version (11.0) but not
the real/full one (11.8033.8028 for example).

Is there any way to find out the Excel/Office version using Automation
? Any code in any language will be appreciated.

Thanks!!
