Excel 2000 VBA Application on Excel 2003

[ZimFL]

I have a VBA application written in Excel 2000.
The appl contains several forms and custom menus.

I tried running the appl on Excel 2003, but got errors.

(I can't remember exactly what the errors read,
but Excel 2003 gave me warning messages saying
it didn't recognize some components or code.
And, the code would not compile.)

I can run an earlier version of the same Excel 2000
VBA appl on the same Excel 2003 PC with no
problems. But this earlier version has no forms and
no custom menus, just macros & custom functions.

I believe the problem is the Excel 2003 object libraries
are different from the Excel 2000 object libraries.
And, I'll need to set references in Excel 2003 to the
Excel 2000 object libraries.

These are the libraries I suspect that I have to set
references for:
- Microsoft Office 9.0 Object Library (MSO9.DLL)
- Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library (Excel9.OLB)

(If they are even listed in Excel 2003. I didn't look, and
the PC is at a different location. I'll be trying to get the
appl working on Wed, Aug 9. But, I'll be at that other
location tomorrow, Tue, Aug 8th, and will have some
brief time available on that Excel 2003 PC.)

Am I barking up the right tree,
or just howling at the moon?

Any confirmation, hints, traps, or other possibilities
would be appreciated.


Also, these are the object libraries that are referenced
in Excel 2000 where the appl was developed:

Visual Basic For Applications (VBE6.DLL)
Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library (Excel9.OLB)
OLE Automation (stdole2.tlb)
Microsoft Forms 2.0 Object Library (FM20.DLL)
Microsoft Office 9.0 Object Library (MSO9.DLL

It would certainly help if you could indicate the exact error(s).
As it has been a recent concern, I guess you have a Rich Text Box in the XL
2000 version file ??

I know, I'll try to look at the error messages, but
it won't be until very late tomorrow night EDT.
I had planned on a 15 minute setup & install.
Once the error occurred, I had to get the older
version back up fast, & no time to do anything else.

No, the Excel 2000 application does not contain
a rich text box. There are about 10 forms. Most
have simple text boxes, command buttons, spin
buttons, combo boxes, & labels
