Office 2000 vs Office XP

[Kandrew]

Does anybody know of away to get around the problem between Office 2000 and Office XP when using Active X and switching between Operating Systems.

I find when I develop a VI on XP then try to run it on a 2000 machine I get errors.

I fix it to run on 2000, now it won't run on XP.

Is there some tool or patch some where that will get around this problem?

Are you talking about Windows or Office? It sounds like you're talking about Windows, and not Office. As for your question, it's too vague as you don't actually say what you're doing. What ActiveX controls are you using? What's not working? What does work?

Hi Keith,

Unfortunately, there is no way to avoid the ActiveX differences between Office versions.  Since Office 2000 and Office XP have different interfaces to certain functions through ActiveX, LabVIEW VIs will break if they are configured for one interface and moved to another.  The only way I can think of to avoid this problem would be to dynamically call your VIs that make ActiveX calls, and call a different VI depending on which version of Office is running on the machine.

Good luck,
