Excel 2003 and 2007 on same machine
hi
reinstall 2007. when you have multiple versions of an application on your pc, windows recognizes the last version installed as the default. it's a windows thing, not an excel thing. regards FSt1 "HFLo" wrote: I first installed excel 2007, then excel 2003 on my machine. when calling excel from VB, it runs excel 2003. how to default to run excel 2007? |

Excel 2003 and 2007 on same machine
Since 2003 has decided it wants to be the default, de-register 2003 and
re-register 2007 Close Excel first and On the Windows Taskbar StartRun "C:\yourpathto2003\excel.exe" /unregserver See the space between exe and /unregserver. Then register 2007 StartRun "C:\yourpathto2007\excel.exe" /regserver This process should make Excel 2007 the default for opening files. You may not have to unregister 2003 first but I err on the side of caution<g Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Mon, 30 Nov 2009 21:18:02 -0800, HFLo wrote: I first installed excel 2007, then excel 2003 on my machine. when calling excel from VB, it runs excel 2003. how to default to run excel 2007? |

"yourpathto2003\excel.exe" is not to be taken literally.
Your must enter your real path. i.e. "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\excel.exe" /unregserver Gord On Thu, 3 Dec 2009 07:00:06 -0800 (PST), aciambrone wrote: On Dec 1, 10:43*am, Gord Dibben <gorddibbATshawDOTca wrote: Since 2003 has decided it wants to be the default, de-register 2003 and re-register 2007 Close Excel first and On the Windows Taskbar StartRun *"C:\yourpathto2003\excel.exe" /unregserver See the space between exe and /unregserver.
