Checking the version of an Excel File Thread #
1260311 and also thread referenced there.
You can also check Thread #
1272524 to see how you can save Excel file to Excel 95 format programmatically through OLE Automation. I do this into a dedicated temporary XLS file as an intermediate step every time I import spreadsheets now using a simple ImportXLS5(
) -function I wrote.
