Title: connect to different version of Ms OFFICE!
Post by: Ricky_76 on August 23, 2007, 08:34:30 AM

Hello!
I have developed some applications to connect autocad and ms Word and ms Excel, but I have to change part of the code each time i move the applications from a computer to another!
The problem is due to a different version of ms Office.
I need to know how to develop an application the works with all versions of office.
Can I include reference to all offices in some way ...

thanks a lot!

I found this:

It's where I would begin and go from there.

I work with Outlook 2K3/2K7 I have to a similar problem. I guess I would try to use a switch (with above) and try to resolve with something like this:

Code: [Select]

Imports MsOl97 = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.....
Imports MsOl98 = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook....
Imports MsOl2K0 = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook....
Imports MsOl2K2 = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.....
Imports MsOl2K3 = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.....
Imports MsOl2K7 = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook....
