Which Excel to use?
The differences between 2000, XP, and 2003 are minimal. Use the
one you have or the one you can buy for the least amount. -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com "marko" wrote in message oups.com... Hi!

I have to admit that my preference is still 2000. I have XP, but rarely use
it. The differences in 2000 and XP and 2003 are relatively small, and I have heard many intrusive things about 2003 that deter me from that. -- HTH Bob Phillips (remove nothere from email address if mailing direct) "marko" wrote in message oups.com...

Excel 12
Excel 12 looks interesting and may be worth waiting for, not sure of the
release date but some good info on the Microsoft site. (http://blogs.msdn.com/excel/default.aspx) Regards, Mickey |

Hi Marko
Excel 2000 is the best. Excel XP is pretty good. Excel 2003 is ... ehh .... well .... The VBA is pretty much the same. Everything runs in newer versions, a thing Microsoft does really really well. You can't expect anything to run as is in older versions though, so write code in the oldest one or you work blindfolded. HTH. Best wishes Harald "marko" skrev i melding oups.com... Hi!

I also vote for XL2000. (I thought it was just me <g)........unfortunately
my largest client has several hundred computers running XL97 so I must work in that for them.......and there ARE some VBA differences between 97 and 2000......I've been bit a few times.

Hi Chuck.
You are right. 97 uses Visual Basic 5, 2000 up uses Visual Basic 6. I believe those are pretty much the same, but 6 has some very useful string handlers like SPLIT and INSTRREV that I use all the time. Happy holidays! Best wishes Harald "CLR" skrev i melding ...

Thanks Harald.....
I didn't know that difference actually existed, I just knew it had to be something.....I use 2000 at home "mostly" but have had to re-install 97 because of this client. I've written some macros some time ago, (I think having to do with Autofilter, maybe and some other minor things) that would not work in 97. It was a bit of a bugger figuring out what was wrong.....so I've reverted to only working in 97 for them. Also, sometimes I will get help from the Programming group and some of their suggestions won't run in my programs until 97ized..... Thanks again for pointing that out, and A very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours...... Vaya con Dios, Chuck, CABGx3 "Harald Staff" wrote in message ... Hi Chuck.
