John,
You will still need the library from Office 2000. Yes they are backward
compatible. That is not true in all cases however. It is a pain but I
maintain all office installations on my machine in order to accommodate
these situations and for testing purposes because I want to be using the
bottom most library I know will be used by the client otherwise you run
the risk or writing incompatible code.

Hi
I need to call methods from office apps from my vb.net app. Some of my
clients are still on office 2000 so to maintain compatibility I can not
use
office 2003 PIA. Can I avoid the whole PIA route by using late binding?
Could someone please give me an example of using late binding for calling
office apps?
Thanks
Regards
