hi people,

I have never done Excel/VBA programming so pardon me if my questions
are very basic. Can i access an XLL file made in Excel 97 in Excel XP.
Can i write vba code in EXcel XP and access that xll file.

i had another post regarding accessing xll files from Excel XP. All i
need to know if ther is a way to reuse the XLL files through some sort
of wrapper(COM or vba from XP or shared addin in .net or something)

Hi Rahul,

XLLs have exactly the same format and work exactly the same way in Excel
XP as they do in Excel 97, so I'm not quite sure what you're asking.

What does XLL file made in Excel 97 need to run? just c compiler or
something.
We had an application written in excel 97, however now we have to
upgrade to excel XP( a corporate decision) so our old application is
not working in excel XP anymore. I am thinking that the XLL's are not
compatible with this version of excel as they use the EXcel API from
97. am i right? or totally off?
