Use late binding - don't have a reference to excel.

I often run Excel VBA applications from AutoCAD, but the reference to
Excel
is particular to the company's computer that I use. When it is run on
another computer with a different version of Excel, the application
fails.
Is there a way to check for Excel versions and apply the correct
application
reference?
