I've got an Excel application that was written in 2003. Now I find out I
have a user that is still using 2000, and at least one segment of my 2003
code is not working. I have a routine that selects a worksheet, and sorts it
by a particular field. When this user runs this code, it bomb on the last
line of the code provided below.

Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("A2"), _
Order1:=xlAscending, _
Header:=xlYes, _
OrderCustom:=1, _
MatchCase:=False, _
Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, _
DataOption1:=xlSortNormal

I don't know whether this is because Excel 9.0 is not recognizing the
DataOption1 or the xlSortNormal, or something else in the Sort method. Would
greatly appreciate if someone could provide the correct code to run this in
Excel 9.0.

Thanks.

Remove arguments OrderCustom:=1 and DataOption1:=xlSortNormal which are n/a
in XL2000.

If required, you can make version specific functions by placing the code
that won't be recognized in say XL2000 in a module that will only contain
procedures that will be called in later versions.

Dave was right, only need to remove the DataOption1 argument, OrderCustom
works in XL2000 (contrary to what I had suggested)

If using the application specific If test as suggested by John, and the
module is headed Option Explicit, change xlSortNormal to its intrinsic
Constant value (in the immediate window ?xlSortNormal and hit enter)

if it's just sort routine causing problems then you could test for excel
version - something like:(not tested)

With Selection
If Val(Application.Version) < 11 Then
.Sort Key1:=Range("A2"), _
Order1:=xlAscending, _
Header:=xlYes, _
MatchCase:=False, _
Orientation:=xlTopToBottom
Else
.Sort Key1:=Range("A2"), _
Order1:=xlAscending, _
Header:=xlYes, _
OrderCustom:=1, _
MatchCase:=False, _
Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, _
DataOption1:=xlSortNormal
End If
End With
However, if more than this then follow Peter T suggestion.

I don't think that this will compile in xl2k. That DataOption1 portion will
cause a compile error.

There are workarounds, though.

if val(application.version) < 11 then
'do the sort right here
else
'call a routine in a different module that is written for xl2002+
end if

By having the routine in a different module, xl2k won't even try to compile it.

Hi Dave,
Earlier I suggested pretty much the same as you as to how to cater for
multiple versions.
But somewhat to my surprise John's example does compile in my XL2k providing
xlSortNormal is changed to its appropriate number.

Peter T

Hi Peter,
I had tried my suggested approach awhile ago for desktops using different
versions of Excel and much to my suprise, it worked. I think it's just one of
the Excel VBA quirks - you never know until you give it a go! However and as
I also stated, if changes required were more than just resolving sort routine
problem, Dale should follow your suggestion.

That's interesting (and surprising to me).

Do you have xl97 to test, too? Just curious.

DataOption# was added in xl2002. Remove that line (and the preceding line
continuation characers) and it should work in xl2k.

You could excise most of these arguments anyway, since they merely tell
Excel to use the defaults.

Personally, I like to specify all the parms (well, most the time <bg).

There are some parms for some methods that are carried over from one command to
another--and even shared with the user (via the user interface)--like the .Find
method.

(Yeah, I'm not too careful when it comes to removing the dataoption stuff.)
