As far as VBA goes, are there any major "gotchas" I need to be aware of? 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. 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. -- Many can understand. What people do with understanding is another matter. |
