Excel Object Library Compatability issues???

[Paul282]

Quick question for any who know.

I have almost finished writing an app for reading the data out of XLS files and writing to a DB. All is working well (in thanks to people here) but I am concerned about compatability.

If the system I am installing on has an older or newer version of excel installed will this have any effect?

I wrote my app with the Excel 8.0 object lib (office 97) but users may be on office 95 (excel 5) or office 2000 (excel 9) I'm only using the RANGE and WORKBOOK objects but would like to hear more before distribution.

Thanks

M$ is usually pretty good about keeping their interfaces compatible, so I would say that your app will almost definitely work fine with Excel 9, but I have no idea about Excel 5....


I have excel 9, email me if you want me to run it once to see if it works
