Version Problem

[Fred Kruger]

My organisation is currently running different versions of word which is
causing a problem. We currently run a mix and match of NT/Office 97, Windows
XP/97 and Windows XP/Office 2003.

I need to switch off the way word 2003 by default opens a different document
in its own window which I can do by using.

Application.ShowWindowsInTaskbar = False

The problem i have is when this is inserted into the relevant documents and
that document is opened in word 97 then it throws an error method or data
object not found, relating to the ShowWindowsInTaskbar as it is not known in
word 97.

I have tried a version check but it still throughs the error even though
this part of the code is not accessed by word 97.

Has anyone any ideas how to get round VBA version conflicts as I dont want
to have different sets of documents for different versions.

Thanks in anticipation.

And Merry Christmas

The way to handle this is to put the Word 2003-specific code into a separate
module, and only call that code from elsewhere after a version check to
ensure that you are in Word 2003. If the 2003-specific code is in a module
that is never called from within Word 97, you don't get the error.
