I am trying to test for various versions of office.
The following doesn't work.
Need help


Private Sub CommandButton39_Click() 'Add new customer
Dim X As String
Dim Y As String
Dim Z As String

On Error GoTo ehandler3

X = Shell("C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\MSACCESS.EXE
\\SERVER3\database\customers.MDB", 1)
Exit Sub

ehandler3:
On Error GoTo ehandler4

Y = Shell("C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\MSACCESS.EXE
\\SERVER3\database\customers.MDB", 1)
Exit Sub

ehandler4:

Z = Shell("C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\MSACCESS.EXE
\\SERVER3\database\customers.MDB", 1)

End Sub

End Sub

I inserted "ThisVersion = Application.Version" as the first line of the Sub.

Same result

Hi,

I don't understand whay you mean by 'Same result'

try it in an empty sub with no other code

Sub version()
MsgBox Application.version
End Sub

This spreadsheet is used by different people using different versions of
Office. The purpose is to detect which version they are using and open the
proper Access database. It works for 2 version of Office but not 3.
I am wondering if you can have an On Error Goto ehandler3 under another On
Error Goto ehandler2??

Public gXLver As Long

Sub test()
gXLver = Val(Application.Version) ' in startup routine

If gXLver = 10 Then
' XL 2002, 2003, 2007
' (2010 will be 14)
Else
' XL 97 Or 2000
End If

End Sub

Depending on what you are doing you can't necessarily put XL2002+ methods in
the same routine or even module. Even if the code doesn't get called in the
earlier version a compile error can occur if the object or arguments in a
built in function are nor recognized.
