Hi

Which version of the Excel Object Library do I need to use to work with
Excel 97?

I wrote a VB.Net app that uses the Excel Objects, but I wrote and compiled
it on a machine with Office XP on. Hence it automatically used the 10.0
version of the object library and subsequently won't work on machines with
97 on. These are the lowest spec/version I have to support.

Do I use 5.0 or 8.0?

Thanks everyone

Tez
 
Office 97 is version 8.0. I'm not certain how Office 2000 or XP handle
this. For this reason I use late binding, which requires no object model
references. If I use GetObject or CreateObject, I leave out the 8.0, and
just use "Excel.Application"
