I have developed a Workbook in 2007 that uses the IRibbonUI extensively to
provide a workflow through the 40 sheets. The ribbon is a 'start from
scratch' and I also lock the user out of 'PLY' right-clicks.

I have been asked to determine the feasibility of converting this Workbook
so that it will run in Excel 2003 and was wondering if there is a website
you know of that would give me some insight as to what I have to do. Ron de
Brun goes from 2003 to 2007. I need to reverse that.

Thanks for your assistance.

Rick

Thank you very much for the links Mark.
