Is it always excel.exe? <

I just checked my own computer(s), and the name of the Excel executable is
excel.exe on all six of these:

Excel 97 SR-2
2000 SP3
2002 SP3
2003 SP3
2007 SP2
2010 Beta

I am not asking about code.
I am asking just in general.
Is anybody in this group able to answer at least this question posted
initially
"

I think some older version had msexcel.exe, but I can be mistaken.

I don't speak the VB. But did you try the createobject() suggestion?

Sorry, I missed that.
I am programming in old vbasic (ver.6).
My app needs to check if the Excel (any version) is installed on target
computer.

Hello,
What will be the best way to check if Excel is installed and what is
the
name of executable?
Is it always excel.exe?
I think some older version had msexcel.exe, but I can be mistaken.
Your thoughts please,
Claire
