Excel 2007 with macros and Apple
Hi,
This may be the wrong newsgroup to ask so if that's the case, can someone please advise details of the correct newsgroup. I have created a 2007 vs workbook with macros (.xlsm) and I have someone using an Apple computer - with Office version 2008 installed. It seems that Microsoft Visual Basic macros are not compatible, although it seems to suggest that there is a way to save the file so that they can be used. Apple suggest to save the file as .xlsm, but that is already the case. The macros have either been removed or made inactive. I don't know anything about Apple software so I don't even know how to get into the VB area to see what's going on. Is there an easy solution to this? Rob |

There is no VBA in Office 2008 (mac). There was some talk that MS would put it back in the next release? -- Jim Cone Portland, Oregon USA "RobN" wrote in message ...
