VB opens wrong version of Excel
I am attempting to write a VB app which opens Excel spread sheets.
The code:
Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Applic
xlApp.Visible = True
xlApp.Workbooks.Open ("C:\temp\yadata.xls")
does sort of work. The issue is that we have both version 5 and 97 on our PCs. Version 5 is required by PeopleSoft (only) and everything else uses 97.
The issue is that the code opens up version 5.0. All of the playing around that I've tried (such as trying to hard code paths) gives syntax errors.
How do I make it start up 97 not 5.0?

Make sure you mark the reference Microsoft Excel 8.0 Object Library
If xlApp is defined as Object, there is no need to reference Excel. I know this is not a good practice to declare as Object but it might help when dealing with multiple version!
