    Pitfalls of Earlier versions of Excel

    I know there are some differences when writing macros for earlier versions the sort being one of them wher later version inclusons cause problems. I find I have to create a lot of macros for people using 97. Can anyone tell me some of the other considerations when creating for earlier versions? Thanks
    Peace of mind is found in some of the strangest places.

    VBA syntax. Especially in Calculation and AutoFilter. Those are my two biggest bugs.

    Develop under 97 and you won't get any problems. Excel is backwards compatible like any good product should be.

    One thing I always remember in 97 is that Worksheet Change Events won't fire from data validation.
