    I have both 2003 and 2007 installed on my machine. I want to create a VB
    Script to open a few files in 2003 and in 2007 versions. How can i do that?

    VBScript code similar to below should work for either version, as long as
    the 2007 version is installed on the computer where you run the script:
    =============
    Option Explicit
    Dim objExcel, objWorkbook

    Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")

    ' Open either 2003 or 2007 version Excel spreadsheet.
    ' objExcel.Workbooks.Open "C:\Scripts\Example.xls"
    objExcel.Workbooks.Open "C:\Scripts\Example.xlsx"

    Set objWorkbook = objExcel.ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(1)

    ' Display some specific cell values.
    Wscript.Echo objWorkbook.Cells(1, 1).Value
    Wscript.Echo objWorkbook.Cells(1, 2).Value
    Wscript.Echo objWorkbook.Cells(2, 1).Value
    Wscript.Echo objWorkbook.Cells(2, 2).Value

    ' Clean up.
    objExcel.ActiveWorkbook.Close
    objExcel.Application.Quit
