Thanks! :-)

That works great for 2002 and later.

On 2000 it requires the setup CD. That's probably still better than
running setup, but I didn't follow through because I'll need to go dig
out the disk.

It doesn't work at all on 97.

You can set the default by running the desired version of Excel from
the Run dialog, using the /regserver switch. Close all versions of
Excel, go to the Windows Start menu, choose Run and enter the
following and click OK.

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 2003\Office11\Excel.exe" /regserver

Change the directory path to the folder in which the desired version
of Excel resides.

I'm trying to fix a problem in my add-in that only occurs when the
user starts Excel by double-clicking a workbook file. But the problem
is slightly different depending on the version of Excel.

Is there a quick way to change what version starts up when you double-
click a workbook? Having to reinstall Excel each time I want to change
takes a lot of time when I'm changing often.- Hide quoted text -
