Do excel 2000 macro's run in excel 2003?

[ChrisC]

Our office is going to upgrade from Excel 2000 to Excel 2003. Do the macro's
i have created in excel 2000 still run in 2003?
Is there an overview of features/functions/commands that are or are not
compatible?

I would bet that you won't have any trouble at all. But you really won't know
for sure until you start some testing.

For the most part, compatibility problems will occur in the opposite direction.
If you develop a macro in xl2003, there's a better chance that you'll use a new
feature that xl2k doesn't support.

Maybe you could ask to be one of the first to get xl2003. Keep both versions on
your pc so you can test your macros.
