Default Problem converting from PC to Mac

Look at the answers you got in microsoft.public.mac.office.excel
yesterday...

If you used ActiveX controls, you're in for a rewrite.

I have an application which has been written in Excel 2000 (SP3) on a PC and
works ok. I have been asked to make it run on a Mac. When I tried this, it
fails in a big way.

The application uses a combination of excel sheets with embedded VB controls
and user forms created with VBA. There seem to be at least three problem
areas...

1) Any user form that contains an image box does not translate from PC to
Mac correctly

2) The controls embedded on the excel worksheets no longer appear to be
controls - they appear to have been converted to graphics (backed up by the
Mac spending a great deal time converting metafiles when the file is
opened). The controls were added using the VB toolbar in Windows Excel,
which does not seem to exist on the Mac.

3) Certain functions do not work - i.e. Round()

So the question is; how can I get this to work on a Mac without resorting to
a major rewrite.

Thanks,

Greg
