I'm getting too many results when I try to find this myself. Can someone
tell me the date that is associated with the 2002 version of Excel.exe?
Thanks! I use 2007 so can't tell by the file on my computer but am trying
to help someone who uses 2002.

Do you mean the date format used? That really depends on your regional
settings! Can be dd/mm/yyyy, yyyy/mm/dd, mm/dd/yyyy or yyyy/dd/mm, or even
with mmm iso mm.
 
No but thank you. Every program has a date that's associated with it's
files. Excel.exe with the date of 8/13/03 is Office 2003. I'm trying to
find the date of Excel.exe that corresponds with Office 2002

Do you mean the date format used? That really depends on your regional
settings! Can be dd/mm/yyyy, yyyy/mm/dd, mm/dd/yyyy or yyyy/dd/mm, or even

Hi Boze,

< Every program has a date that's associated with it's files. Excel.exe with the date of 8/13/03 is Office 2003>

No, that is not the case. My Excel 2003 has a date in 2007.

In Excel, in the Help menu, choose "About Microsoft Office Excel" (or a similar choice); that wll show you all the details about
version, SP, etc

24 July 2007, 14:37:42, is what I get when I do a DIR on Office10, Excel.exe.
My installation CD shows a date of 07/03/2001 14:22 for the Setup directory,
if that could help you.
 
and my Excel 10 shows a date of 16th Feb 2001.

Wouldn't it be better to look at file version?

Thanks. That makes sense that the service packs would change the date.
Forgot about that.

I can't use the Help > About method because I don't have 2002 and the friend
I'm trying to help is having a problem launching hers so she can't open it
and look. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Somewhere there has to be a list of the dates with the corresponding
versions and service packs. All I've been able to find is the version and
version number.. 10.. xxx.

Yes, that does help. I'll mention both dates to my friend. I doubt she
would've applied any service packs but she's had the computer in the shop so
a tech may have updated for her.



24 July 2007, 14:37:42, is what I get when I do a DIR on Office10,
Excel.exe.
My installation CD shows a date of 07/03/2001 14:22 for the Setup
directory,
if that could help you.
 
But, Boze,

Why do you want to know? In most cases, once it's Excel97 or higher, the version is irrelevant.
Share the problem if you wish.

She exported some spreadsheet data from a web page to her computer. Now
when she tries to double click an xls she gets a window wanting to install
Excel (or maybe Office) 2003. She only has 2002. She also can't find Excel
to just open it directly, say from the Programs menu. She always double
clicks the file.
So.. I had her search for Excel.exe and she found 6 instances of it. I'm
trying to narrow it down, by date.. to the one for 2002 rather than have her
try launching each of the 6. I think she'd get confused if one worked...
wouldn't remember which one it was.
I just need to go over to her computer and look at I think. It's an hour
away so thought she could wait til the weekend but she's fairly worked up
about her 'broken computer'.
Once I find if there's an Excel that works I'll associate it with the .xls
and she should be set.

Thanks for the help. Good reminder about the different dates for 2002.

Yes, that would work well but the user is easily frustrated. I was thinking
the date, because it's visible in Explorer or My Computer, would be the
easiest for her. Saving any steps (right-click, properties, look for the
version) would be the best. I'll just go over and look at it. Or am I
forgetting an easier way to determine the version?


and my Excel 10 shows a date of 16th Feb 2001.

Wouldn't it be better to look at file version?

Hi Boze,

So she can find Excel.exe versions. Let her double-click one to start Excel (the newest one is probably wise)
Then she can open the file in question from the File menu in Excel
There's a lot of compatibility between Excel versions from 1997 to 2006/7....

Just try

Yes, hover over the executable, and the properties box opens up, showing the
version amongst other things.

Excellent. Thank you! I should have asked the question about the easiest
way to find the file version instead trying to find the date. Live and
learn.

Yes, my experience with her is that she gets confused. so I was avoiding
that but it certainly would work. Thanks
