Using Older versions of ms excel with 2003
 

Im currently using an older version of excel at college to study VBA.
I have semi completed my project have sent it home for some tweaks.
BUT
MS excel 2003 wont show my calander and is having trouble with a few other
aspects including timer formats.
Is there a way round this at all?
Any help would much appreciated

Using Older versions of ms excel with 2003
 

In general xL is forwards compatible but several libraries and objects such
as the calendar need to change to alternative versions. Also some functions
have additional parameters that trip the later version up because they are
missing and not required in the earlier version.

I have not found an easy way around this and tend to develop in xl2002
although the target is xl98 - I then correct any issues in the target
application to make a working version. Fixes to code I make in the xl98
version are then adapted in xl2002. The library references still have to be
changed manually unless you keep two versions!
