Versioning Management
Microsoft used to make a product called Visual Source Safe. I know it was
distributed with at least one version of the Officer Developer editon, so assume it is compatible with VBA. You might look in that area. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Arturo" wrote in message ...

Versioning Management
Hi Tom
I did not depict the situation correctly. A bunch of models are in use currently, built by a number of people not necessarily still here. When a new release of Excel comes out, does Microsoft disclose prior methods or procedures that function differently in the new version? Shy of testing every code driven model on a new version of Excel and searching for compatibility issues, is there anything Microsoft discloses proactively? A naive question but I need to ask.

No, they don't do any compability testing on every function and argument and
print a list that itemizes all incompatilities. In each version they have a whats new section, and that details addtions ( and deletions). Supplemental information is also in the Knowledge base: http://support.microsoft.com Generally, they achieve pretty good compatability going forward. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Arturo" wrote in message ...
