I have been coding in VBA for several years. Currently I am taking a VB 2005 class and have just falling in love with it, so much richer than VBA, especially love the XP style support. I would like to take my VBA programs for CorelDRAW and rewrite them for VB 2005. I have had success with this supporting a single version of CorelDRAW, it is as simple as adding the COM reference. But what I would like to do is support versions 11 – 13. I am looking for thoughts on the best way to do this. Any ideas Thanks, Shelby

Support Multiple Versions of CorelDRAW

I believe it really depends on the COM component and the versions - some versions of software are backward compatible, some arent. Some older versions may support newer versions but only their own version in the application and not the new features/enhancements. Some just flip out. It's a tricky thing to do and a good discussion too might I add.
