I knew that :-)

That's not the issue here....
....the issue is 'IRibbonControl' object which doesn't exists in
pre-ribbon versions of Excel.

unless there's a way to make a call from a ribbon to a macro without
this, it is impossible to create Excel-files with custom ribbons that
will work in both newer and older versions of Excel.

Surely Microsoft must have thought of that - question is: How???

Hi Charlotte

What about testing for the version first before the Ribbon Code is fired.

This is a snippet of code from Ron Debruin's Mail code which tests which
version is running and looks for the applicable security structure
although I think you could use it for your purpose, you will have to
change this to suit..


If Val(Application.Version) < 12 Then 'Version Running is 2000-2003
Call the applicable code.
Else
Select Case Sourcewb.FileFormat
Case 50: Call the applicable code.
Case 51: Call the applicable code.
Case 52: Call the applicable code.
Case Else: Call the applicable code.
End Select
End If
