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.


At a minimum find and save all the 2000 version VBA???.chm files.

You can d-click to open them when you really need help.


Is there *that* little info in the 2007 helpfiles to warrant it?

Or...........if brave enough...............rename the 2007 *.chm files

Back them up first.


I've got 2000 on my server's Windows install; I can copy them over if-and-
when.
