Avoiding Compile Error for Unsupported Methods

[Kevin]

I have written some VBA code in an Excel 2003 workbook that also needs to be
accessible in Excel 2007, so the file format is 2003 (xls). Whenever I open
it in Compatibility Mode in 2007 and then try to save it the Compatibility
Checker pops up with warnings that I know will not cause problems for me. So,
I added the following line of code to suppress the Compatibility Checker:

ThisWorkbook.CheckCompatibility = False

This works great in Excel 2007, but I get a compile error when I open it in
2003 because the CheckCompatibility method is not supported in 2003.

My question is: Is there a way to somehow insulate this line of code so that
it is only compiled when the file is opened in 2007? Some sort of compiler
directive that conditionally compiles it based on the version? Or any other
ideas?

Thanks in advance for your help!

I figured it out and used the #Const directive a compiler constant that I
then used in a #If - Then -#Else loop to run the line of code only if it was
running in Excel 2007. For anyone else who may benefit from this, here's the
code:

If Application.Version = "12.0" Then
boolExcelVersion12 = True
Else
boolExcelVersion12 = False
End If

#Const constboolExcelVersion12 = boolExcelVersion12

#If constboolExcelVersion12 Then
ThisWorkbook.CheckCompatibility = False
#End If

Put that line in its own sub and call it only if Val(Application.Version)>=
12.
