Default Application Name differences between Excel 2003 and 2007

A few tests should let you know, right?

So Stanley and Dave,

Now I can distinguish between Excel 2003 and 2007. Will 2007 always<
require [Compatibility Mode] to be appended to the application.name to work
with AppActivate? Are there any other modes that might be required instead
(or even none at all), and if so, how do I determine them? I want to
account for all possible choices with programming to avoid errors.

I bet that there are people running versions of excel that include a letter
suffix (xl2002 and prior).

I'd use something like:
if val(application.version) = 12 then

And to save typing

select case val(application.version)
case is = 12 : msgbox "you are using xl2007"
case is = 11 : msgbox "you are using xl2003"
...
end select

Val() makes it a numeric test, too.

SteveM,

The following code can be modified to suit your needs.

Code:
--------------------


Sub ReturnExcelVersion()
If Application.Version = "12.0" Then
MsgBox "You are using Excel 2007."
ElseIf Application.Version = "11.0" Then
MsgBox "You are using Excel 2003."
ElseIf Application.Version = "10.0" Then
MsgBox "You are using Excel 2002."
ElseIf Application.Version = "9.0" Then
MsgBox "You are using Excel 2000."
ElseIf Application.Version = "8.0" Then
MsgBox "You are using Excel 97."
ElseIf Application.Version = "7.0" Then
MsgBox "You are using Excel 95."
End If
End Sub


--------------------

Have a great day,
Stan
