I Am about to buy a new office, and I must decide between 2007 and 2003.
I'd like to buy 2007 (same price where I live) but I cannot stand the UI.
Is there a way to make it look like 2003 (for me Word/Excel is enough) ?

We have currently upgraded our development machines to Windows 7 and Office 2007. We have a vb 2008 app that references 2003 Office components to use for mail-merging to word.We loaded up our app in the vb environment today and were instantly greeted with missing components/functions which are related to the 2003 Office components. We can update these to use the Office 2007 components/functions instead, however we are unsure whether after doing this our vb app will work with machines only with Office 2003 on. can machines with Office 2003 on work with our vb app that references Office 2007 components?

I have both Excel 2003 and Excel 2007 installed on my system. When I call oExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application"), Excel 2003 is used in the context in my .NET code instead of Excel 2007 (which I need to be used). I have referenced the "Microsoft Excel 12.0 Object Library" but when the code runs, the 11.0 version is used.
Is it because I am using Visual Studio .Net 2003 that Excel 2007 cannot be correctly referenced or do I need to change a reference or setting?
I am designing a shared add-in using VB.Net 2008 and VSTO that has to fire up when any MS Office App is started. It has to work for both 2002, 2003 and 2007 applications. I have managed to put together a working add-in that pops up a test message stating the version of Office and the Application name and tested this across all the apps ok.
The next part of the solution is to code the application specific code that needs to run for document auditing and corporate protective marking as well as, for example; in Excel checking that all the Add-Ins are linked to the Network Add-Ins folder.
My approach from now was going to be to late bind against the application object and set one of my typed (e.g. Excel) application object references which exist in the code to this object.
Anyone who could provide me a direction to start with?
View 4 RepliesI have a .NET winforms app that automates Excel and checks for a worksheet password. The requirements are to be able to detect
1) that the protection is turned off
2) that the password is removed (protected but there is no password)
3) that the password matches the correct password from a database
To meet the second requirement the program calls the Worksheet.Unprotect command with a null string, capturing the error. If error as expected, the 3rd check is made. If no error, then the Unprotect worked without a password ==> password was removed.
The code sample below has these checks.The application can do this fine with Office 2003. I have since had my dev machine updated to Office 2007 and it no longer works as it did. When I call the Worksheet.Unprotect, Excel prompts for the password!
I need to know how this should be accomplished in the new version of Excel or if there is a way to reference the old PIA. No matter what if I set a reference to Excel 11 it is replaced with the PIA for 12 in the GAC.
'return true if unprotect of worksheet does not generate an error
'all other errors will bubble up
'return false if specific error is "Password is invalid..."

Assume all traces of Office 2003 will be removed from the computer.I understand that I will still be able to use .xls files. I'm asking about automating Excel through the COM interop from outside Excel. When I add a reference to Excel to a VB project, it gives me a different version of the dll for different versions of Excel. If a program was compiled with a reference to Office 2003's dll, will it need to be recompiled for Office 2007? Will the code need to be updated to use the new dll?

View 3 Repliesi was wondering if someone could give me the final explanation on what i might be doing wrong here.I spent a lot of time reading around the net and the forum about how to add Threading capabilities to a VB project.
Nos, i've got .NET 4 installed, and i've added the system.tsr and mscorlib.dll files as reference in, say, Excel 2007 (see screenshot).However, when i try to make a thread with anything as basic as "Dim Thread1 As System.Threading.Thread", i get a user-defined type not found error.Indeed, when i use the object browser to see what's in the System file, theres nothing remotely linked to any Threading, and in the mscorlib file, nothing under "Threading" either, just a few Thread related functions, but nothing defining a data type

View 2 RepliesI have a program that we converted to vs 2010. When then moved it to the users computer and they only have Excel 2003 on their station. How can we tell the excel reference to use 2003 (version 11) instead of 2007 (version 12). The program now is looking for 2007 version 12.

I have an Excel file endowed with a macro written under Office-2007.This file can be opened by Excel-2003, but the macro can't run because 2007-objects can't be recognized.My question is: does it exist a library or some trick to allow the macro running under Office-2003?
View 1 RepliesI'm a longtime vba user with little vb.net experience, and had a slightly general question before I embrk on the vb learning curve. I'd very much like to use some of the itextsharp pdf watermarking functionality in an access 2003 application. Alas itextsharp is tragically not referencable in VBA. My question is whether I can build my functions in Visual Studio, referencing itextsharp there, and render them in some form that makes the functions available to use within vba..

I have started a new blank project for VB 2007. I have taken the old code (VB 2003) and added it to the project.The line marked below worked on the old VB, now it does not. I get the following error:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Troubleshooting tips:
Use the "new" keyword to create an object instance.
Check to determine if the object is null before calling the method.I have tried several forms of using the "New" keyword and still get the error.

I am in the right forum. My apologies if this is a stupid question, I am a relitively inexperienced coder.
I have a VB.NET program that writes to Excel 2003. On testing the program works fine as long as I add the PIA's to the target machine prior to use. To avoid this problem when this roles out to clients, I wish to add the PIA's as a prerequisite. I have sorced the redistributable versions for 2003 here:

View 4 RepliesI have a seemingly simple question I can't seem to figure out. I have an old VBA application that connects to a database using OLEDB, grabs data, and populates an excel sheet using Excel.QueryTable after the user clicks a button. I'm trying to port this rather large program to VB.NET. I've created a few projects in my solution, one of which being an ExcelWorkBook. I want this workbook to load each time users launch the program and be blank until they click a button which will populate the data.
