automation in excel

Author: Jerry Foote

Posted: 2011-04-08 12:06:29   Link

Anyone had any experience with excel and automation between different

versions. Will the excel command strings I have working with excel 2003 work

with later versions?

Thanks Jerry

M$ is notorious for changing the constants (values) used so you might

want to have a provision built in for that.

Not so sure about 'command strings' though - can you provide an example

of what you mean?

You will need to have version checking within your code. 2007 & newer have different syntax.

Funny that I am doing this at this moment. I have a utility which I

wrote for a client a few years ago that relies heavily on Excel

automation. It was written for Oriface 2003. In spite of my warnings,

the "upgraded" to Oriface 2007. Naturally, the application won't work

at all any more.

I have them the options and costs to rebuild the automation part. As a

result, they now send *me* the files and I run the utility here, and

send them the resulting files. Fortunately, they only need to run it

once or twice per year.

Incidentally, I had to move to O-2007 for other reasons, so I created

a XP VM using VirtualBox to install O-2003.
