MsgBox "Welcome to Microsoft Excel version " & _
   Application.Version & " running on " & _
   Application.OperatingSystem & "!"

MsgBox Application.Version

Someone in the group gave me this a while back when I had 4 versions of
excel on my computer and couldn't remember which one I had open...........it
puts the "version" in the upper title bar..........

Sub Auto_open()
   With Application
       Select Case Val(.Version)
           Case 10: .Caption = .Name & " 2002"
           Case 9: .Caption = .Name & " 2000"
           Case 8: .Caption = .Name & " 97"
           Case 7: .Caption = .Name & " 95"
       End Select
   End With
End Sub
