    My spreadsheet works in excel 2010 but doesnt in 2007

    I designed a macro where by if i enter the word ET in a cell, a picture appears. This works fine when i am using excel 2010. But when i use 2007, i get the pop up message run time error and the program will not display the picture when i type ET.

    Here are some of the errors i get: http://prntscr.com/8w0tqr
    I really wish for them to be made compatible for all versions of excel

    Any reason for this and how to fix?

    Hello Ayoub99k,

    Most newer versions of a computer program can handle a program of older versions without a problem. However, as soon as you try to apply it the other way round, you run into errors.

    I would suggest that you try and create your program in the earlier version of Excel and then test it on the latest version/s of Excel you may have available.

    Regards.

    Hello Ayoub99k,

    To be able to help you with this problem, you need to upload a copy of your 2007 workbook for review.
    Sincerely,
    Leith Ross

    Remember To Do the Following....

    1. Use code tags. Place [CODE] before the first line of code and [/CODE] after the last line of code.
    2. Thank those who have helped you by clicking the Star below the post.
    3. Please mark your post [SOLVED] if it has been answered satisfactorily.

    No its not that. I made my file in Excel 2010. But the person checking the file has 2007. And the features i made wont work on their version.

    Hi Ayoub99k,

    Thank you for posting the Screenshot.

    Please read my post again, and then read the top paragraph of your Screenshot, which explains that there will be a SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF FUNCTIONALITY.

    That is also why Leith Ross has asked you to upload a copy of your workbook for review.

    Regards.
