I have both excel 2003 and excell 2007 installed on my Vista machine.
I do most of my work in 2007 (and it was installed first)

I have some work I have done in 2003 that does not work properly in 2007
(Excel froms and moving data back and forth from Access to Excel)
Is there any way I can force these files to always open in 2003 with out
making 2003 my default Excel?
I know I can open the 2003 application first then drag my file into it but
thats a pain.

I want to double cliclk on my file and have it open in the correct version.
Is there a way?

Any help here will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Hi Dave,

I only have one version of Excel on my computer so this is untested but what
about you right click on the file in Explorer then select the 'Open With'
option. I think that it might give you both versions of Excel from which to
select.
 
That was the first thing I tried but there is only one excel listed.
That proceedure works with 2 versions of Access but not with Excel :(

Thanks for trying

dave
