I have Office 2007 on my system. The client has Office 2003 on his system. Is it possible to "link" to both versions of Office from VB?It only gives me the capability to reference to my Office version, I'd like to be able to make it fully compatible with both versions of Office.

How they relate and differ from each? What are the best practices for version control? Is there a primer about publish online? Or a good book?
And is it possible to make ClickOnce and a msi in one solution of VS 2008? If so, is there any conflict or pitfall?
BTW I am using VB if that makes any difference.

View 9 RepliesI have several excel sheets which I'd like to work with different Excel versions using VB.NET Basically, I want to choose which Excel version I will open certain worksheet using VB.NET. Is there any way to know which Excel version is installed in the machine and how many versions with VB.NET? And how do I choose which Excel version I will open it?
I'd like to know it through programming, I know that this can be done if you take a look at the registry keys in the machine. Although, what I need is to create a software that asks the user for the Excel version he want to open
My VB.NET (3.5) application generates Excel reports. Newer versions of Excel support the Office Open XML file format, while older versions don't.
I'd like my application to identify which version of Excel is installed on the local machine, and use a different method for generating the report (Newer versions: by generating an XML file. Older versions: by utilizing Excel Automation).
How can I identify the Excel version installed on the local machine?
With XP set to a language such as Spanish (Spain), the VBA-in-Excel function "Excel.Version" returns the text string "11.0" (not "11,1"). It does not respect the language setting.
"CLng(Excel.Version)" then produces the value "110" (wrong!), perhaps because CLng respects the language setting and is looking for a comma instead of a period.
The work-around is easy. But I need to know if switching to another language requires a setting that my client in Spain missed, or is this just a bug.
If it is a bug, is the problem limited to this one function (Excel.Version), or are there other functions that return values in text format that are affected?
In my computer excel 2003 is installed. My code runs well in my computer but failed in another computer which only has excel 2007. If I want to make my code still functions in excel 2007, I heard of that something like late binding but I haven't experienced with that and not sure.

Finally I would like Visio to generate a flow chart based off of this imported data.I have developed a more detailed flowchart as to how I think this should work as well as a sample Excel sheet. The files are in a zip file which I would be more than glad to send to anyone who may be able to shed some light on the subject.

I have created a license system for my application with MySql about half a year ago. What it would do is take the serial number and send it to my server if the key was correct it would return a 0 if its wrong the return value would be a 1.The problem was that when the serial number was entered correctly my program would create a "fake file" for example vb.dll in the system.And on run time my program would check for that vb.dll if the file exist it would skip my trial program and run the app as a full version. Half year later i think creating a "fake file" and checking for it on start up is extremely wrong and that's not very good security.How can i check the difference between a full version and unregistered version?

I would like my program to overwrite its previous version such that users don't have to uninstall the previous version before installing the new one.
I'm guessing it has something to do with setting Publish Version (Major, Minor, Build, Revision), Assembly Version or File Version.

<a href="javascript:parent.__doPostBack('Close','')"><asp:Label ID="Label5" runat="server" Text="Close Me"></asp:Label></a>
However, I would like to be able to call the *javascript:parent.__doPostBack('Close','')* method from the code-behind file rather than the user clicking the link. I.e., when I have completed my tasks in the application code, call parent.doPostBack as my last function call, which closes the window in question.
