You might want to modify the check to

IF val(application.Version ) = 8 then

or
if clng(Left(application.Version,instr(application.Ve rsion,".")-1)) = 8 then

because in xl97, application.Version can return something like 8.0e

If you are trying to find the version of Excel, use the
function Application.Version.

If Application.Version = 8 Then
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Else
Sheets("Sheet2").Select
End If
