I've just been asked if I could write some code and

are solely with the PC - & Windows --.
I know nothing about the MAC. Is there a difference
In ?:
1) Spreadsheet and/or functions
2) VBE - Modules, etc
Spreadsheet functions are identical. Certain protection modes aren't
available in MacXL. In general, if it works in XL97, it works in MacXL.
WinXL doesn't have Page Layout View.
VBA is version 5 (equivalent to WinXL97), so no VBA6.x functions (e.g.,
Join, Split, Replace). ActiveX objects aren't supported in MacXL. There
are a (very) few differences in some methods (e.g., the FileType
argument in the GetOpenFileName method). WinXL doesn't support
MacScript.
