Which in this context is annoying, as the version number gets written to some files generated by the sheet and it looks wierd, but I can easily imagine some other applications where it could be a critical fault.
Changing the type of CurrentVersion to Double cures it but I'd like to know whats going on. Is it a bug in VBA?
Excel 2007, if thats relevant.
