what is the easyest method to get a 2007 made addin work with excel 2003?
Also within the Addin I have added a custom ribbon bar by editing the file's xml data. how can I add a menu into 2003? (and test to see which version of excel is installed to run the right menu code).

I don't have a version of 2003 to test run in!

thanks
 

Excel Facts

Control Word Wrap
Press Alt+Enter to move to a new row in a cell. Lets you control where the words wrap.
You'll need to save it as an xla file and ensure any code is 2003 compatible.
For the menu, you need to use the commandbars collection to add new menu bars and controls.
Application.Version will tell you what version you are using. If it's 11.0 or less, you'll need to set up commandbars, though if you save as .xls you can't use RibbonX anyway.
