Message: [QUOTE="Cindy M -WordMVP-, post: 6918845"] Hi NickP, Not really my area of expertise, but since you haven't gotten any response... If you develop for the library of the oldest Office version, you should be OK as far as supported commands go. (In a general sort of way, MS tries to ensure backwards compatibility; they don't hit 100%, but on the whole it's not *too* bad :-)) MS does not recommend (especially for .NET apps) developing one app for multiple versions. It can and does work. You'd be better off with late-binding than early-binding, unless you're distributing IAs with your application. If you use early-binding and rely on the "official" Office PIAs then you have to compile a DLL for each version you want to support. As for problems with VS 2005 - there are known issues. have you searched the MSDN site?
