Does anybody know if there has been any additions to the built-in
conditional constants in Excel 2007?

In particular, I'm hoping for one that distinguishes XL2007 from previous
versions.

TIA,

Application.Version is what I've been using. Excel 2007 is Excel 12, and
Application.Version will return "12.0" in it. You can use that in a number
of ways:

If Left(Application.Version,2)="12" then
'in Excel 2007
Else
'not in Excel 2007
End IF

or

If Val(Application.Version) <12 Then
'not in Excel 2007
Else
'in Excel 2007 (or later)
End If

Practical example dealing with the 'stardard' test to find last used row in
a column

Dim LastUsedRow As Long
If Val(Application.Version) <12 Then
'not in Excel 2007
LastUsedRow = Rows.Count
Else
'in Excel 2007 (or later)
LastUsedRow = Rows.CountLarge
End If
then you can use LastUsedRow like this later on without having to do further
version testing:
LastRowValue = Range("A" & LastUsedRow).End(xlUP).Value

Thanks. I'm familiar with Application.Version. What I want is a
conditional constant so I can write something like:

#If VBA12 Then
.....
#End If

So that the compiler won't even try to compile the enclosed code on earlier
versions of Excel.

Josh,

There is no such conditional compilation constant. At compile time, there
is no way to determine what version of Excel you are using. There is, of
course, the VBA6 compiler constant, but that applies to everything since
2000.

Thanks Chip.

I figured that was the case ...

You can't, it is not an conditional constant.
