Excel 2003 and 2007 on same machine

[HFLo]

I first installed excel 2007, then excel 2003 on my machine.

when calling excel from VB, it runs excel 2003. how to default to run excel
2007?

hi
reinstall 2007. when you have multiple versions of an application on your
pc, windows recognizes the last version installed as the default.
it's a windows thing, not an excel thing.

Since 2003 has decided it wants to be the default, de-register 2003 and
re-register 2007

Close Excel first and On the Windows Taskbar

Start>Run "C:\yourpathto2003\excel.exe" /unregserver

See the space between exe and /unregserver.

Then register 2007

Start>Run "C:\yourpathto2007\excel.exe" /regserver

This process should make Excel 2007 the default for opening files.

You may not have to unregister 2003 first but I err on the side of
caution<g>

"yourpathto2003\excel.exe" is not to be taken literally.

Your must enter your real path.

i.e. "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\excel.exe" /unregserver
