Or should my 2000 code "just work" under 2007? Although you seem to be interested in __program__ incompatibility, I want to forewarn you of a __programming__ (i.e. usage) "incompatibility". Bottom line: Do not get rid of your copy of Excel 2000. Instead, custom install Office 2007 so that you can retain Office 2000. I am fortunate to have done that when I installed Office 2010 on a system that had (still has) Office 2003. I discovered that the F1 help information in Excel 2010 VBA is nowhere near as good as Excel 2003 VBA. Fortunately, I still have the latter to go back when I need help. I don't know if the same can be said of Excel 2000 VBA v. Excel 2007 VBA. But you might be sorry if you assume otherwise. I'll keep that in mind, but I can usually find what I want in MSDN if I can't find it in the help files. (Also, I'd rather not have 2 versions of *anything* installed without a *very* good reason, and "inadequate helpfiles" aren't good enough for me.) -- I'm not going to write that article again, because it's not true. |
