EMBED Function with AutoCAD

=EMBED("AutoCAD.Drawing.14","") convert to =EMBED("AutoCAD.Drawing.15","")

How do you make the autocad r14 object open in autocad r2000. I no longer
have autocad r14 so i can't open it otherwise. Is there maybe a place to
tell excel where to look for the exe file?

Proper AutoCAD installation should take care of the "file associations".
AutoCAD 2000 should open the R14 version files just fine.

You are thinking correctly, but what if that doesn't take care of it? The
installation was proper, but now the excel docs created with r14 won't start
in r2000. I was hoping there was a place in excel to manually point it to
r2000, or a way to force the embed change to
<=EMBED("AutoCAD.Drawing.15","")> instead of 14. Excel won't let me do that.
Thanks

Suppose one could try changing it directly using "Edit", "Goto",
"Special", "Object" to find them in the Sheet.
