And after Sanjoy imparted that little gem, everything went eerily quiet…

I am using:

Mid(Application.Version, 1, InStr(Application.Version, ".") - 1)

Thanks,

Hi I have a problem of PIVOT Table integrity. I have excel build 6355 and version 11. However, when other users with excel 2000 profession or excel 2002/xp opens this excel and save it, it gets corrupted. When I open the file it says Unable to read the file and after it says excel has repaired this workbook and disabled following Pivot tables features.

Let me know the solution for this.

Thanks,
HiREN.

Wel, there is also a build property that gives you what comes after the period in the version number. Because with Office XP, version gives you 10.0, even if you have Service Pack 3, which should read 10.6501.6626... In that case, build gives you 6501. Useful if you get the integrity problem with pivot tables when you protect/unprotect sheets/workbooks with VBA, in which case you need SP 3 installed to get rid of the bug.
So I used:

if application.build < 6501 then
msgbox "Try to run Office Update once in a while..."
end if
