OK I understand your problem now. You will need to have Excel 2003
installed, if you have an MSDN subscription you can get it there, otherwise
I imagine it can be bought quite cheaply

You can develop in the 2007 machine, take your project to a system with 2003
and compile on that. Not ideal though. If you need to cater for both 2003 &
2007 you will find it easier to have both versions installed on your system.
Maybe you can install 2003 into a new VM. Otherwise you must install
versions in oldest first order. So uninstall 2007 before installing 2003,
then reinstall 2003. (tip - choose separate folders rather than the
default).

I think the IDE or Office may be forcing use of the 2007 (12.0) object
library, and I think perhaps I need to modify the "binding redirect
policy," but I cannot find an authorirative reference on this.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?
