Default Macros and China

Jonathan,
You should first test your code on the English version of their Excel, as
you always develop on the lowest version that you intend to support..
That will probably solve (most of) your problems.

Hi, I have created some macros using Excel 2003. They work well, that is

they
do everything that they were designed to do... copying data from one

workbook
to another and arranging data. The problem is that the person I created

them
for wants to use them on a PC in China.

The code is located in a .xla file and normally when this file is loaded a
menu is added. However for this PC, it does attempt to run but goes

straight
to the error handler. Unfortunitely with my knowledge of manderin I did

not
understand the error message.

As their version of Office is in Manderin, does this mean that the code is
also translated? If the code is translated does the translator mess with

the
code in the same way as a movie subtitles?

They are attempting to run this in Excel 2000.

So I don't know whether this is likely to be a problem with running code
created in 2003 on a 2000 PC, a translation thing or something completely
different.

Any ideas appreciated :-)
