Hi. I have a VB app that works with scripting. I want to make it work for both CS and 7.0. The way I understand it these are my two options... BOTH seem to have a problem I am hoping someone can shed some light on for me.

OPTION 1
don't set reference and use CreateObject instead. I guess this would enable having one compiled app work for both PS versions BUT...
  1. I dim other object for example psDoc as Photoshop.document, I (think) I can dim these as variants, right?
  2. This is the one I can't get around, I use the enum in my programming, i.e.:
            Dim extType As Photoshop.PsExtensionType
            extType = psUppercase
      I would have to go through and recreate all the global enums (correct term?) manually -- OR -- is there some kind of DEFINES file I can include?

OPTION 2
Set reference to 7.0 Object Library -- Compile -- then change reference to 8.0 Object library -- compile another version and selectively install the correct version.

My problem here is this... I have 7.0 and CS installed on the programming machine. (I installed 7.0 AFTER CS - don't know if that's the problem). I go to references and unCheck 8.0, click OK, go Back to references and Check 7.0 Object library and click OK. If I know go back to the references dialog, it seems to have automatically changed the reference back to 8.0... Why is that? This is now STOPPING me from compiling a version for 7.0?

Thanks for any help!!!
