Default VBA with OpenOffice

Hi
From what I can find at Google.many different comments but nothing clear.
This is what 's written at OpenOffice.org
"VBA interoperability project is a joint Novell & Sun incubator project whose
aim is to deliver a way to run Excel and Word macros natively in imported
documents."
(Interoperability) nice word, English is a second language for me but I can use
a dictionary...
I know what the dictionary says but what is it really saying ???
I'm hoping to find someone using it with VBA codes. Also I know it's got its own
Basic language.
Regards
John

If you have the .dll files that support it, it should work as well as it does
in the Office environment. I don't have Open Office, so I cannot be
absolutely sure what supporting library references it has. But for any
programming language to work, it has to have supporting files that the
compiler can use to translate into executable code.

A better question is, is VBA available in Open Office. If Open Office is not
a MicroSoft product, I don't believe it would support VBA. You might be able
to load VB6 and use it.

Hi Everyone
Has anyone tried using VBA with OpenOffice software.
Is it 100% compatible ?
Any comments?

John
