Sounds like you do not a licensed copy of the software or it is a demo
version?

Assume it's the full thing - on a laptop with Vista. But not mine -
somneone I'm helping by email. I suspect licenced or not (and I've not
asked) would make no difference to its backwards compatibilty ?

Try running; this following code

MsgBox Application.Version

Then look up the resulting version number in the following reference

Will do. Thanks

Also found someone who knows this and the earlier version(s)
and the differences. Slowing sorting the most important ones.
