Info function in VBA macro

[Roderick_E]

Ok, I looked & looked on the internet to figure out how to use the INFO("release") in a macro.

I want something like,

If info("release")="0" then
'do some stuff
else
'do some other stuff
endif

Thanks for the help

Try

Application.Version

instead.

Application.Version

ok thanks I'll try that. The purposes I am doing this may not allow for that if it doesn't work with OpenOffice Novell (I'm trying to determine if the user is using Excel 2000, 2003, 2007 or OpenOffice) BRB with a report.

I suppose you could use Evaluate.

    MsgBox Evaluate("INFO(""release"")")

But I've no idea how that's going to work with OO.

ok thanks I'll try that. The purposes I am doing this may not allow for that if it doesn't work with OpenOffice Novell (I'm trying to determine if the user is using Excel 2000, 2003, 2007 or OpenOffice) BRB with a report.

Darn, that is not going to work because it returned "11.0" whether I opened with Excel 2003 or OpenOffice.

Is there no way to use the info function within a macro? Right now how I'm doing it is that I have on a hidden sheet,

=info("release")

Then in a macro I would have code like this:
If sheet("hidden").range("A1")="0" Then
'do something
else
'do something else
endif

=info("release") when opened with OpenOffice returns a string that amounts to "0"

Thanks for trying -- worked fine in Excel, errored in OO.
My company only gives Excel to higher ups & OO to lower grunts so my spiffy macros have to be able to work or have alternatives for OO.
