Nick,those are awesome - the MS and white paper look to be exactly what I was
needing.

Thanks very much for that, and hopefully I won't be bugging you guys too
much about it now!

Cheers
DS

Thanks for your reply Mike, unfortunately that's not really an option in
this
instance. All computers in the company are going to be upgraded to 2003 at
the same time, at which point I will lose access to 2000, and multiple
items,
if they have any issues with 2003 compatability, will suddenly cease to
function correctly - and I'm sure you can understand that I don't really
like
the idea of having multiple items all suddenly failing at the same time!
Although I have 2003 at home, and use it quite happily there without any
issues, I'm not really able to transfer untold numbers of documents and
take
them home to test the functionality (besides, they wouldn't pay me the
overtime to do so...) in a 2003 environment pre-change.

Because of the fact that I've learned what I know of VBA in an
uncontrolled
way (learned through using it rather than taking structured courses etc),
I
know full well that there is lots I don't know, and I'm looking to avoid
any
complications due to issues that I simply unaware of at the moment. This
is
why I would prefer to have access to a resource which would detail any
changes I'll need to address for the transfer of Office version.

Thanks!

DS -

In my opinion, the single most important guideline for your situation is
to
develop in Office 2000 and test in Office 2003.

Hi all,

We're upgrading from Office 2000 to 2003 shortly, and I've been having
a
look through these forums to see if I can expect any issues with the
upgrade
affecting workbooks written for 2000. I've seen quite a few items
where
these
are "niggly issues" - and small amendments are all that's required to
make
items work in 2003, usually due to tighter controls being in place in
2003.

In order to pre-empt a lot of posts along the lines of "this code
works in
2000, but not now, HELP"....... does anyone know of an online resource
(or
a
decent reference book) which has details regarding the changes that I
might
expect?

I'd rather be aware of any necessary changes ahead of time so that I
can
prepare ahead if possible, minimise impact on users, and avoid my
frustration
trying to figure out what's wrong - not to mention wasting valuable
time
of
members here with a string of questions and code queries once I hit
any
problems!

Many thanks in advance
DS
