PIA compatability

hi,

In the developer machine i have excel2003 iand related PIAs installed. The
application runs without any problem. But when i tried to run the
application on a user box having excel2000, it did not work. saying it could
not find the COM interface for Microsoft.office.interop.excel.

After installing excel2003, it worked fine. What do i need to do so that
PIAs work in earlier versions of excel as well. Any suggestions

thanks i advance

Hello,

Office 2003 PIA may not be used for Office 2000. Instead create PIA for
Office 2000 applications.

Check out this article (esp Interop with Office 97 and Office 2000 section):
