Excel Version with Early Binding

Hi, does anyone know how to get the version of Excel with early binding
please?
It's easy with late binding :
aExcel := CreateOleObject('Excel.Application');
ExcelVersion := aExcel.version;
aExcel.quit;
but with early binding, using something like:
Excel.Connect; (Excel is TExcelApplication)
ExcelVersion := Excel.Application.Version ---- doesn't work as Version is
not a property of Application.
Any thoughts on this would be great.
Thanks
David
