How can I test in VBA what edition of Office a user is running
 

Using Excel 2003 I created a spreadsheet using XML import and export. The
help information says the following on the XML features in Excel 2003:

* Note XML features, except for saving files in the XML Spreadsheet
format, are available only in Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003 and
Microsoft Office Excel 2003.

I'd want to inform the user whether the XML features will work or not.
Using "Application.Version" I get the Excel version.

Does anyone know how to test the office edition in VBA?

If val(application.Version)10 Then
MsgBox "XML works"
End If

In a post from Michel Pierron I read about the property
Application.ArbitraryXMLSupportAvailable

This will tell me what I need to know. Thank you Michel!

At home I have Microsoft Office Excel 2003 (so version 11.0) and Microsoft
Office Basic Edition. Your code will not work for this situation.

Thanks anyway for your reply Bob.

Why not? It tests for 10, and guess what, 11 is 10.
