I have a client running Office 2003 Small Business Editon. I loaded Payne
Metadat Assistant. Got automation error. Their tech support says Small
Business edition does not support automation.

Is this true? How am I supposed to know this - is there a document somewhere
that says which versions support automation? Is there any way to install
automation?

Thanks!

That is not correct. All versions of Office support/can be automated with
Visual Basic for Applications.
