To me yes. If for nothing else than the difference in the Pivot Table
toolbar which I use every day, though XP works fine for me, and as I use XP
at work I tend to stick with that at home as well. Would struggle to justify
going from XP to 2003 personally, but XP was a big improvement to me.

If you have kids then take a look at the Student/Teacher edition and it
makes it a much cheaper/easier decision :-)

Hi

I have all versions and use 2000/xp/2003 almost at random. A very personal
view: Upgrade if you work with big spreadsheets, data lists, demanding
formulas, sheets that need a second or more to recalculate after each
entry.
For VBA and for small sheets there is not much difference between them.
Consider also; if you upgrade now, then will you automatically not do so
when the next version comes ?

All your old files will work fine.
(Famous last words :-)

HTH. Best wishes Harald

Hi..a quick question..

I am seriously considering purchasing Office 2003...

I have all my work in Excel 2000 is it worth upgrading?
will my apps still run in 2003? or should I just stay with Excel 2000?

thanks for any help
