Running Windows-Excel macros on Macintosh
My Macintosh friends say they can open and work with the Windows-created Excel
files I mail them, but the macros in the workbooks do nothing. I'm inclined to tell them that's why Apple has only 5% market share, but seriously, is there a solution? Thanks! Wes |

Running Windows-Excel macros on Macintosh
Do the macros do nothing? or do you have controls that do nothing?
MacXL doesn't support ActiveX controls - use Forms control instead. All versions of MacXL use so VBA6 commands will produce compile errors (but that wouldn't "do nothing"). Otherwise, you'll have to be more specific - MacXL is 99% compatible with WinXL, and MacVBA is 95% compatible with WinVBA.

Running Windows-Excel macros on Macintosh
Aha! The worksheet has a button that runs the macro. They say clicking the
button does nothing. I'll see if they can run the macro via the pull-down menus. Thanks for the tip! |
